Versionsstand

Versionsstand is a German term used in software and product documentation to denote the current state of a product, including its version number and release status. It is commonly found in manuals, release notes, and project documentation to indicate which version is being described or supported.

A typical Versionsstand entry includes the version number (for example, 3.2.4), the release date, and information about compatibility, platforms, or editions. It may also summarize major changes, dependency requirements, and any known issues or limitations. Some organizations attach a build identifier and a link to the detailed changelog to provide deeper context.

Purpose and usage: The Versionsstand serves to anchor documentation and support materials to a specific software state. It helps users determine whether they have the current information, plan upgrades, or assess compatibility with other systems. For developers and testers, recording the Versionsstand supports traceability, rollback planning, and regression testing across releases.

See also and scope: Versionsstand is related to concepts such as software versioning, release notes, and change management. While widely used in German-speaking contexts, the exact format and content can vary between organizations, so readers should consult the accompanying release documentation for precise details. In English-language contexts, the term is often translated as “version status” or “current version.”
