THE MEANING OF THE RELEASE NAME
The Release Name has 3 sections such as 13.05.01. Each character in this name has a meaning as explained below:
The last element indicates a bug fix release. Thus, 13.05.01 means that this release has fixes to programs that are in release 13.05.00, in fact it is the first set of fixes for that previous release. In theory, there should be no new features in this release over the feature set that was in the previous release. That said, in this document, new features may be announced by the bug fix release which now includes the cleanest production version of a new feature. For example a new feature may have first appeared in 13.05.00 but a bug was found that makes that version unuseable. Version 13.05.01 will then be used here to communicate that this is the first version of the new program that should be used in production.
The middle element indicates that this release contains new documented features. Therefore 13.05.00 contains new programs or changes to existing programs that were not in any previous release. in addition, 13.05.00 may also contain bug fixes to existing programs.
The first element indicates that this release is NOT backwards compatible. It contains one or more new features that involve changes to either data files or to existing programs that cannot be run on previous releases. Releases of this type are major upgrades and often require that all users be off the system while the new programs are put into place. It is relatively easy to roll back from 13.05.00 to 13.04.03, but it is very difficult, perhaps impossible, to go from 14.00.00 back to 13.05.01.
When upgrading from any release prior to 12.9-100411, the upgrade process must be done in two stages. See detailed instructions in the 2012 Jan - June Release Notice.
