Release Notes

See Also Beta Release Notes

What do the numbers in a release version mean?

E.g. 1.x.y.z? And why is it sometimes 1.x.y(z)?”

These version numbers follow a common convention in software engineering of four numbers. The common definition of w.x.y.z-style release numbers is major.minor.patch.build; using that terminology, Second Life has only had one major version change - from 0.x beta to 1.0 release. As Second Life is a constantly evolving service and platform rather than a traditional monolithic software application, we have no current plans to increment the initial number.

Prior to 1.15, Linden’s interpretation was to use the second field to denote a substantial new feature or sizable release - for example, 1.14 had render pipeline improvements, 1.12 had groups and estates improvements, 1.11 was a revamp of the UI layer, 1.10 introduced flexies, and so on. The SL History Wiki http://www.slhistory.org/index.php/Release_Notes has unofficial archives of the release notes. In between these “major” versions were other releases - some big, some small, some optional, some mandatory, some server-side, some viewer side, noted by changes to the third field (e.g. 1.13.1, 1.13.2, 1.13.3, 1.13.4).

Recently, we switched to having the second number (e.g. 1.17) denote an update which required a new viewer to go along with a server-side software update. Viewer versions which are optional are denoted by the changes to the third digit (e.g. 1.17.3). Therefore, it’s now possible to tell that any version in the 1.17 lineage (1.17.0, 1.17.1, 1.17.2, 1.17.3) can be used with the grid until 1.18 comes along. (This also has the advantage of eliminating the unsavory task of deciding when a release is important enough to merit a big version bump!)

The final field always represents a unique build number, which denotes internal changes only. Various iterations will be seen while a version is in beta (e.g. you might see 1.18.0.1, 1.18.0.2, 1.18.0.4 posted for the Beta Grid), but the official releases will only use the first three digits to have meaning (e.g. 1.18.0). Some parts of the Second Life UI and Web site show the last digit in parenthesis to emphasize the, er, parenthetical nature of that field - it shouldn’t be important.
