Versioning method

IBM® Safer Payments uses a release number scheme.

Versioning

Version numbers consist of four numbers that are separated by periods, for example, 6.7.0.00. Each position in the version number has a meaning:

  • The first number denotes the project generation.
  • The second number denotes feature releases or High Impact changes.
  • The third number denotes High Impact changes.
  • The fourth number denotes Low Impact changes. It can be one or two digits.
