Versioning
All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, alpha/EA, beta, etc.). Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 6.30.00.00-eng or 6.30.00.10-beta).
This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and bb is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.
To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is encoded in the top level directory (e.g. bios_6_30_00_00).
Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex. SYS/BIOS 6.30.01.15 with directory bios_6_30_01_15. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
Please note that version numbers and compatibility keys are NOT the same. For an explanation of compatibility keys, please refer to the Upgrade and Compatibility Information section.
