Lifecycle
Versioning and periodicity
of Canopsis
Version 22.10 marked a turning point in the Canopsis lifecycle.
Prior to this, the versioning system was based on semantic numbering: Major.Minor.Corrective. Canopsis 22.10 inaugurates the adoption of the current chronological versioning: Year.Month.
It is also from this release that the publication frequence becomes regular. Canopsis offers two versions a year, one in April and one in October.
This organization gives customers and the community greater visibility over the evolution of their Open Source hypervision solution.
