Release types and versioning

There are three types of releases:

  • Major - includes significant new features or enhancements to the product and are not backwards compatible.

    releases two major versions of each year, which are generally available in mid-May and mid-November. When the major version becomes generally available, you can install the version in your sandbox and production environments.

  • Minor - a superseding version of the product that includes small functionality updates and/or major defect fixes. It is made available between major releases and is backwards compatible with the major release that it is associated with.

  • Point or Patch - a superseding version of the product that fixes major defects. It is made available between major releases and is backwards compatible with the major release that it is associated with.

assigns a unique version number to each release of the product. Version numbers adhere to the Semantic Versioning format: [Major].[Minor].[Point].
