General notes:
-
Version numbers are formatted as x.y.z where x=major version, y=minor version and z=patch version.
-
A new major version will be released each year.
-
A new minor version will be released each quarter. ClearBlade requires upgrading platforms and edges at least once per quarter.
-
Regarding Blue/Green platform upgrades and automatic edge upgrades:
-
Blue/Green upgrades can be performed on environments running version a.b.c or newer.
-
ClearBlade only guarantees compatibility between one minor version and the next.
-
If a Blue/Green platform upgrade or automatic edge upgrade is needed where the origin and target versions are separated by more than one minor version, then:
-
Multiple upgrade steps are required. These steps must upgrade the environment to each of the minor versions between the origin and target versions. Only one step per minor version is required.
-
For intermediate steps the latest patch version within a minor version (i.e. the patch version that incorporates the most bug fixes) should be used.
-
For example if upgrading from 2025.1.x to 2025.3.z, the upgrade path should be 2025.1.x -> 2025.2.y -> 2025.3.z where y is the latest patch version of 2025.2.
