Software versioning of DHD Software & Firmware

Every DHD software and firmware (which is basically software running in an embedded environment) is always identified by a unique software version number.

DHD software is always versioned based on a fixed pattern.

• Major: differences in major versions contain large changes and major incompatibilities to lower major and minor version numbers.
• Minor: differences in minor versions contain changes and incompatibilities to lower minor or major version numbers.
• Patch: differences in patch versions contain changes and are basically compatible to other patch version numbers within the same minor version.

Different DHD software products can have different version numbers.

To make it easy recognizing compatible software, compatible DHD Software products have the same major and minor version numbers. Only patch numbers can differ.

Since version 10.0, the following DHD software and firmware is using the same major and minor versions:

• Firmware
• AES67 Firmware
• Toolbox
• Operation Manager & Operation Server
• XC3 kernel
• XD3 kernel

Since version 8.0, the following DHD software and firmware is using the same major and minor versions:

• Firmware
• Toolbox
• Operation Manager & Operation Server

Exceptions in version numbering:

• DHDCS
• AES67 firmware before version 10.0
• XC/XD/XS kernel
• XC2/XD2/XS2 kernel
