Version History

Complete version history of ProofChat releases, including features, improvements, and upgrade information.

Summary

  • Purpose: Track ProofChat releases, features, and changes over time
  • Audience: Administrators, developers, and users managing ProofChat installations
  • Prerequisites: Understanding of ProofChat's versioning system

Understanding ProofChat Versioning

ProofChat uses a semantic versioning system with a special meaning for the first digit:

Version Format: X.Y.Z

  • X (Major): Database schema version - increments when FileMaker database structure changes are required
  • Y (Minor): Feature releases - new functionality that doesn't require schema changes
  • Z (Patch): Bug fixes, performance improvements, and minor updates

Database Schema Upgrades

When the first digit (major version) changes, it indicates that database schema modifications are required. These upgrades:

  • Must be performed manually by administrators
  • Include detailed migration guides
  • Should be planned during maintenance windows
  • Cannot be skipped (must upgrade sequentially: 0.x.x → 1.x.x → 2.x.x)

For complete details on managing upgrades, see the Upgrade Guide.
