Software Maintenance Policy:
AUTOSOL actively maintains versions of eACM for three years after their initial release dates. This three-year period is called Active Maintenance. While in Active Maintenance, AUTOSOL will fully support each version with security updates and hotfixes.
Major releases boast new features, bug fixes, security updates, and other add-ons. Minor releases will not include new features and instead will typically focus on stabilizing the last major release with updates to existing features, bug fixes, and security patches.
eACM Versioning Explained
Format: MAJOR.MINOR.DEPENDENCY.PATCH
Major versions include changes that are incompatible with all prior versions
Minor versions include new functionality that is backwards compatible.
Dependency version changes require a new external dependency downloaded from the internet.
A change to this digit signifies internet access is required to fully upgrade
If necessary, contact AUTOSOL support for an offline method for obtaining the new dependency.
Patch versions include bug fixes and security updates that are backwards compatible.
