Compuease Desktop OS Version Scheme
From Nighthawk
Compuease Faraday Operating Systems had 3 different version schemes [the way version numbers are determined].
Contents |
Compuease Faraday Version Scheme v1 [Faraday 1.00 to Faraday 6.50]
x.yz [e.g 2.31]
x = version - major update or revision [larger revisions or rewrites warranted number jumps like from 4.50 to 6.50]
y = subversion - lesser updates, major bugfixes
z = revision - small updates and such, typo fixes
Compuease Faraday Version Scheme v2 [Faraday 9.9.9 to Faraday 29.9.74]
x.y.z
x = version
y = subversion
z = revision
Compuease Faraday Version Scheme v3 [Faraday 30.9.4 and newer]
Borrowed from the second version scheme used for Faraday Anywhere, this string representation is used to fully explain the product in as few characters as possible
PPVVSSRRAAA [e.g. FD300904X86]
PP = Product. A few examples:
- FD: Faraday [Desktop OS]
- FA: Faraday Anywhere
VV = Version
SS = Subversion
RR = Revision
AAA = Processor Architecture
- X86: an Intel or AMD x86 based processor
- PPC: PowerPc
- 68K: a Motorola MC68000 or 100% compatible
