Fverzió

Fverzió, often written as F-verzió, is a term used in some Hungarian-speaking software development contexts to denote a variant version of a product that includes a specific subset of features or configurations. It is not a standardized term in software engineering, but rather a descriptive label adopted by teams to communicate the scope of a build or release.

Etymology and usage Contexts

The letter f in fverzió typically stands for feature (funkció) or feature-related aspects of a product. Because organizations vary in their naming conventions, the exact meaning can differ: it may indicate feature-driven builds, experimental features, or configurations tailored for a particular customer or pilot program. The concept is primarily organizational, helping teams distinguish between different feature sets without creating a separate product line.

Characteristics and practical use

A fverzió usually represents a build that is not the complete mainline release but a curated variant intended for testing, QA validation, internal evaluation, or customer pilots. It may rely on feature flags or configuration switches to enable or disable specific functionality. The existence of a fverzió can facilitate phased testing and feedback collection while keeping the broader release plan intact.

Versioning approach and relationship to other releases

In practice, fverzió versions are often derived from the main version and annotated with a suffix or label (for example, 2.3.1-f1 or 2.3.1-f2). This labeling helps trace changes back to the feature set being tested and distinguishes it from stable releases, beta builds, or release candidates. The lack of standardization means teams should document the exact feature scope and criteria for progression or retirement of a given fverzió.
