Majorminorversiointi

Majorminorversiointi, also known as major-minor versioning, is a software versioning scheme used to manage and communicate changes in software products. This scheme is widely adopted in the software industry to ensure clarity and consistency in versioning. The version number typically consists of three parts: major, minor, and patch. The major version number is incremented when significant changes are made to the software, such as new features or major overhauls. The minor version number is incremented when new features or improvements are added that are backward-compatible with the previous version. The patch version number is incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes. This scheme allows users and developers to understand the scope and impact of changes between versions, facilitating better decision-making and communication. Majorminorversiointi is particularly useful in open-source projects and enterprise software, where maintaining compatibility and managing updates is crucial.
