Version Numbering 

How are Hippo CMS versions numbered?

The version numbering schema works as follows: 

Let's take for example: Hippo CMS 7.6.1. This results into the following table:

Version  NameDefinitionFrequency

7

major version number   

Hippo CMS product version number 7.    

Every several years

7.6

minor version number

The 7.6 release of Hippo CMS. 6 

Two times a year

7.6.1

maintenance version number  

Maintenance update of the 7.6 release

Couple of times a year per release

Internally the Hippo CMS Suite is composed of several artifacts each with its own version schema. See the following pages CMS, HSTTWO and REPO in Jira about their version numbers and their release dates. In general these number start with a 2. Maintenance versions are backward compatible. Minor versions might not be. Look at the release notes for upgrade instructions and API changes.

Starting from December 19th, 2008, after the release of Hippo CMS 7.0, our leading version number is the Hippo CMS product number 7.
