For example, a large or potentially backward-incompatible change to a software package. Minor version numbers change when a new, minor feature is introduced or when a set of smaller features is rolled out. Patch numbers change when a new build of the software is released to customers. This is normally for small bug-fixes or the like.

2010年5月7日 · Without any correlation to so called "version". "Version" is more interesting for consumers wanting to know this is a new product, hence you just give every release a name. But for internal uses and easy reference of product and his tested\source controlled version, a simple incrementing build number might be more convenient.

2022年12月6日 · The version number of a complex piece of software represents the whole package and is independent of the version numbers of the parts. The Gizmo version 3.2.5 might contain Foo version 1.2.0 and Bar version 9.5.4. When creating version numbers, use them as follows: First number is main release.

For new application, the version number starts with 1.0.0. If the new version contains only bug fixes, increase the hotfix number so the version number will be 1.0.1. If the new version contains new features with or without bug fixes, increase the feature number and reset the hotfix number to zero so the version number will be 1.1.0.

2013年11月25日 · A release describes more the process of publishing a software than a concrete material thing. Whereas a version is a concrete and specific software package. Because you won’t publish all software versions you build, only the software versions that you publish or deliver are called software releases.

Great programmers have actually used the version numbering system as local jokes. Examples (Wikipedia): Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π.

2009年1月9日 · Even if an application is installed, and you know where, it may not have the same "version" notion you have. The best source is the "version" resource in the executables. That's indeed a plural, so you have to find all of them, extract version resources from all and in case of a conflict decid on something reasonable. So - good luck.

2019年4月12日 · I want to get Version number for particular installed program on windows. I do not want complete list of program, just version number for particular program just like we get java version e.g. java -version. I tried to get version number for Google chrome installed on my system: Command : google chrome -version

2010年3月12日 · For end-user software you can practically run wild and let PR handle the version numbers. For libraries you should go a more engineering-like route ;-) – Joachim Sauer

Beta: Once the alpha test is done, the software can be moved into beta testing. It involves a larger group of external users and it focuses on the users' feedback and their overall experience. Operational: It involves simulating real-world scenarios to evaluate the behavior of the software under normal conditions; I found this document useful.
