    Hey Everyone,
    This may seem like such an easy question, but can anyone advise if the new version releases are cumulative or semantic?

      @Lolli-Nisbet said in Patching Type:

      cumulative or semantic

      You’re probably going to have to say what those terms mean in the context of your easy question.

        Have you, in your life, ever encountered the phrase cumulative version release or semantic version release?

          @Alan-Kilborn and @Neil-Schipper ,

          I did some web searching. As far as I can tell, “semantic” release means you use the strictly Major.Minor.Bugfix in your release, so you would only bump from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 for a bugfix, and 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 for new features, and 1.1.1 to 2.0 for backward-compatibility-breaking features.

          If that is the definition, then Notepad++ is not semantic, because the developers don’t strictly stick to those rules: most releases have both bugfixes and new features.

          Given that, I believe that Notepad++ would be “cumulative” by @Lolli-Nisbet’s phrasing.
