German software company agorum® Software GmbH has clarified the release cycle and versioning practices for its agorum core document management system. The company emphasizes the importance of using the latest version for new projects and installations to leverage the most recent features, optimizations, and security updates.
Agorum also advises timely checking and installation of available patch releases. These updates contain crucial bug fixes and security-related enhancements that ensure software stability and security. According to the company, maintenance contracts cover investigations and fixes only for current patch versions.
The software's versioning follows a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format. Major versions (MAJOR) introduce significant changes, potentially including breaking changes, database migrations, or substantial UI redesigns, which may require customer configuration adjustments. Minor versions (MINOR) add new, backward-compatible features and improvements. Patch versions (PATCH) are exclusively for bug fixes and security patches.
Agorum core releases are published at irregular intervals. Information about new releases is communicated via the company's website, particularly through the changelog. Customer licenses are not version-bound, allowing users access to all available software versions.
