Description
This document describes the version scheme for Flex Appliances Releases (Major Releases/Maintenance Releases/Security Patches)
What is the version scheme for Flex Appliances?
X.0 refers to a Flex Appliance major release (For example, 4.0, 5.0 and the upcoming 6.0)
X.Y refers to a Flex Appliance maintenance release (For example, 4.1, 4.2 and 5.1), where Y is non-zero digit. Flex Appliance maintenance releases include the major release (and any previously released maintenance releases for the same major release). So 4.2 includes 4.1, which includes 4.0. 5.1 includes 5.0. Flex Appliance maintenance releases are essentially the same as major releases but with additional fixes. Instead of upgrading to a major release, customers should upgrade instead to the latest maintenance release on that major release. So, instead of upgrading to 5.0, customers should upgrade to 5.1. This Flex Appliance maintenance release version scheme started with 3.3.
X.Y.Z0 refers to a Flex Appliance security patch (For example, 4.1.10, 4.1.20, 5.0.10 and 5.0.20), where Z is non-zero digit. Security patches are released only for the latest maintenance release of the latest major release (or for the major release if no maintenance release exists yet for the major release). This Flex Appliance security patch version scheme started with 4.1.10.
