Understand version numbers¶
A version number identifies the product release. The product contains the latest Generally Available (GA) features at the time of that release.
8.0.29 | -21 |
---|---|
Base version | Minor build version |
Percona uses semantic version numbering, which follows the pattern of base version and minor build version. Percona assigns unique, non-negative integers in increasing order for each minor build release. The version number combines the base MySQL 8.0 version number and the minor build version.
The version numbers for Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.29-21 define the following information:
-
Base version - the leftmost numbers indicate MySQL 8.0 version used as a base.
-
Minor build version - an internal number that increases by one every time Percona Server for MySQL is released.
Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.28-19 and 8.0.28-20 are both based on MySQL 8.0.28.
