Release types and versioning

There are three types of releases:

  • Major - includes significant new features or enhancements to the product and are not backwards compatible.

    Mavens releases two major versions of Medical Information Cloud each year, which are generally available in mid-May and mid-November. When the major version becomes generally available, you can install the version in your sandbox and production environments.

  • Minor - a superseding version of Medical Information Cloud that includes small functionality updates and/or major defect fixes. It is made available between major releases and is backwards compatible with the major release that it is associated with.

  • Point or Patch - a superseding version of Medical Information Cloud that fixes major defects. It is made available between major releases and is backwards compatible with the major release that it is associated with.

Mavens assigns a unique version number to each release of Medical Information Cloud. Version numbers adhere to the Semantic Versioning format: [Major].[Minor].[Point].
