Updates minor and patch level.

Post by andy17d »

What are the differences in the levels of upadtes: minor or patch?

For example, version 5.0.14 is designated patch level but version 5.0.13 as a minor level.

Hey Andy,

a patchlevel upgrade means a change in the first number of the version and have to follow the upgrade path.

Minor upgrades have the same first number in the version. Within a major version you can skip over those minor patches. This is a bit ambiguously worded in the admin manual.

Ok, this explanation is understandable, however, in the OTRS Dashboard / Product News I have the following entries:
OTRS 5.0.14 is available! Please update now. (Release Note - Level: Patch)
OTRS 5.0.13 is available! Please update now. (Release Note - Level: Minor)
OTRS 5.0.12 is available! Please update now. (Release Note - Level: Minor)
...
OTRS 5.0.2 is available! Please update now. (Release Note - Level: Minor)
OTRS 5.0.1 is available! Please update now. (Release Note - Level: Major)
Thus, 5.0.13 and 5.0.14 have the same reference subversion 5.0 and the first on is designated as a "minor" and the second as "patch".

:-) Ask the guy who create the feed. Looks like they switched minor and patch. 5.0.14 = 5s w/ new features => minor
