Release numbering strategies

OceanBase Database numbers its releases following these strategies:

  • The version number is named in this way:

    MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
    
    Code Status Stage Rule Example
    Changes that break backward compatibility. MAJOR release Increase the third digit. 2.0.0
    Backward compatible new features. MINOR release Increase the middle digit and reset last digit to zero. 1.1.0
    Backward compatible bug fixes. PATCH release Increase the first digit and reset the middle and last digits to zero. 1.0.1

    Note

    : A MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version is a GA or stable version.

  • Descriptions for other semantics:

    Release name Descriptions
    Pre-Alpha A pre-release version before Alpha. A pre-Alpha phase is a less complete version.
    Alpha A pre-release version.
    Beta A pre-release version after Alpha. A beta phase is feature complete but likely to contain a number of known or unknown bugs.
    RC A release candidate (RC) version is a beta version likely to be a stable product.
    GA A general available version is available for purchase.
    BP A bundle patch version of a GA version.
    Stable/Release A stable or release version passed all the test is for production. The remaining bugs are acceptable.
