5. Versioning in Umbraco
Versioning is a fundamental aspect of software development and maintenance, and Umbraco is no exception. Each version of Umbraco is identified using a three-part numbering system: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. This semantic versioning system helps users understand the scope and impact of updates:
MAJOR: Significant, potentially backward-incompatible changes (e.g., Umbraco 8 to 9).
MINOR: Backward-compatible new features and improvements (e.g., Umbraco 8.1 to 8.2).
PATCH: Backward-compatible bug fixes and minor enhancements (e.g., Umbraco 8.1.1 to 8.1.2).
Before final releases, Umbraco provides Release Candidates (RCs) for testing and feedback. RCs are nearly complete versions intended for identifying any last issues and preparing for upgrades. While useful for testing and planning, RCs should not be used in production due to potential bugs.
