joelande Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Just to be clear, we update the console and we update the engine, but we don't have to do an update procedure on the clients? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Correct. The clients did not change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is there a reason the console wasn't renamed to "8.0.1"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucius Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Running 8.0.608 on a backup now... SFSG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Is there a reason the console wasn't renamed to "8.0.1"? Because the version isn't 8.0.1, it is 8.0.608. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yes, but it could have been called "Version 8.0.1 (8.0.608.1)". It would have made it easier for people to quickly identify the "version" in bug reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelande Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yes, but it could have been called "Version 8.0.1 (8.0.608.1)". It would have made it easier for people to quickly identify the "version" in bug reporting. I would think this method is more typical, and makes way more sense than above, where 8.0.1 and 8.0.6 are at direct odds with each other: Version 8.0.1 Build 608.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucius Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Personally, I care a lot more about the versioning of the clients. The fact that I'm running version 6.3.whatever of the clients strikes me as a bit odd. It's a good thing that multiple components can be (and are being) updated and released on separate schedules. But it's slightly confusing when the client version's number is very near to (or on top of) the engine/console/main application versions.

Mayoff Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The client version is still in the 6.x family because the UI hasn't been changed to match the 7.x for Windows client preferences and the other changes our engineers are planning for the client UI. At some point the client versions on Mac and Windows will synchronize as closely as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
