Opswise Automation Center Controller 5.1.1 Maintenance
Introduction
Stonebranch provides product maintenance in the form of updated product installation packages. This document lists the product installation package maintenance history for Opswise Automation Center Controller 5.1.1.
Note
You only can install a maintenance package to a product installation of the same version, release, and modification levels (see #Versioning, below). For example, you can install a 5.1.1.10 maintenance package to a 5.1.1.x installation, but you cannot install a 5.1.1.10 maintenance package to a 5.1.0.x installation.
Product Packaging
A package maintenance level is incremented when the package changes or the package installation changes.
Stonebranch changes product version, release, or modification identifiers at its discretion when it deems an appropriate number of enhancements or capabilities have been introduced to warrant the change.
Versioning
Package version numbers are comprised of four numeric identifiers: version, release, modification level, and maintenance level.
For example, for Opswise Automation Center Controller 5.1.1.10:
- 5 = Version 5
- 1 = Release 1
- 1 = Modification Level 1
- 0 = Maintenance Level 10
