1. Overview

This article explains the version number convention and where to find your version number.

2. Version numbers

All versions of Simba Custom Analytics or Dundas BI are specified with four numbers separated by periods, referred to in this article as A, B, C and D. This is illustrated in the following figure:

2.1. Major versions

A major release has new A or B numbers in its version number, and generally contains a wide range of new features in addition to all defect fixes addressed since the previous major release.

Examples: version 11.0, version 23.2

Note
You will need a new version of your license when upgrading to a new major version.

2.2. Minor versions

A minor release has the same A and B numbers but a new C number in its version. If a minor version is released, it generally includes all defect fixes since the previous major or minor release, and potentially a small number of new features.

Examples: version 11.0.1, version 23.2.1

2.3. Revision versions

A revision may be released with a new D number in its version. A revision version is a replacement version for a major or minor release that generally incorporates a small number of high priority defect fixes.

Example: version 11.0.0.1006, version 23.2.0.1001
