My software business model works in a different manner than Apple's and I don't find the version numbering sufficient. Each and every build that we make is a release candidate. Every bug fix needs to be built individually. I can't go back and change the version numbers after a build has been verified by QA. This leaves 100 bug fixes before I need to increment the major version number. Since not every bug is truly fixed the first time, the number of bug fixes between major releases is even smaller. Is there a better way to do version numbering that I'm not finding? Currently we don't worry about it and our current version is 5.13.59, however I've noticed issues with the installer where some components are not properly updated. I'm assuming that the installer is getting confused with attempting to store 13 & 59 as a BCD and then shoveling that value into a byte. Does anyone know how the installer actually compares version numbers? Thanks, Walter _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
