- This document describes how version numbers are handled within TULP.
- Should this help you have upgrade processes as easy as possible.
- At the end of this document, you'll find the history of the releases.

- 3.0.0

- ! ! +- Patchlevel (counts up on every single release)
- ! +--- New minor features (e.g. options in config)
- +----- Major features and rewrites (new functionality)
-
- Patchlevel
-
- Count up the patchlevel number to distinguish between the
- various releases. This is important so we can tell if the
- problem someone is experiencing is already supposed to be
- fixed in his/her version.
-
- New minor features
-
- Count up with new features that will not need anything to be
- changed in configuration. New features in this class should
- have the old behaviour as default. Anyone can upgrade at this
- level without needing to change any files.
-
- Major features and rewrites
-
- Count up with such new functionality and features that require
- changes in any of the configuration files. This includes all
- the list configuration files and MTA files (like sendmail.cf,
- aliases, etc).
