Active and Past Releases

...

Starting with 2.0.0., OpenLMIS follows a basic Major.Minor.Patch release numbering scheme, e.g. 2.0.0, 2.1.3, etc.  This is influenced by the Semantic Versioning standard, but the Major and Minor numbers are incremented largely by human reckoning.  The main purpose is for levelset communication and basic project organization.  It is recognized that as OpenLMIS becomes more modular, a more sophisticated scheme may be necessary, at least at the development level (e.g. versions of core, modules, included components, etc.)

Major – number is incremented with a significant change to the application.  Examples could include a revamped modularization scheme, a UI refresh, a new sizable feature set or some break in compatibility.  

Minor – is incremented when new features or highly significant fixes are added.  May include updated developer infrastructure or updated component versions, such as supporting newer versions of Postgres  Compatibility with past releases under the same Major number is expected.  

Patch – incremented for small changes, such as important bug fixes or minor component upgrades.  Compatibility with past releases under the Major.Minor is expected.

Pre-Releases

Starting with version 3, OpenLMIS supports pre-releases following the Semantic Versioning standard.

Currently we suggest the use of beta releases.

For example 3.0 Beta is:  3.0.0-beta

Note the use of the hyphen consistent with Semantic Versioning.  However a pre-release SHOULD NOT use multiple hyphens.  See the note in Modifiers on why.

Modifiers

Starting with version 3, OpenLMIS utilizes build modifiers to distinguish releases from intermediate or latest builds.  Currently supported:

...

Note that there is a departure with Semantic Versioning in that the (+) signs are not used as a delimiter, rather a hyphen (-) is used.  This is due to Docker Hub not supporting the use of plus signs in the tag name.
