- Scope
- SOS Version Support provides enterprise customers with releases for two years, starting from the general availability date.
- The General availability release is usually the first release with a given major or minor version number, i.e. version 1.7.0 which replaces version 1.6.x.
- Ongoing bug-fix releases for a major / minor versions are counted as 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3 etc.. From version 1.7.0 onwards, and in contrast with practice is up to and including version 1.6.x, such bug-fix releases will not contain improvements or new features but will be restricted to bug-fixes, ensuring compatibility of the release to its predecessor as closely as possible.
- SOS Version Support maintains source code for all components of a particular release incl. set-up procedures for the two year Version Support period.
- Should a critical error be detected in a release then SOS would fix that bug in a way that does not require complete testing of the release. Testing could be reduced to the bug-fix, instead of a full test of the scheduling environment. In such cases SOS would apply the bug-fix to the latest minor version of that release, e.g. 1.7.3.
