STEP:Versioning
From Step Mods | Change The Game
Implemented as of STEP 2.10.0[edit | edit source]
Major.Minor.Hotfix[edit | edit source]
- Major - Introduce fundamental new functionality, tools, or methods. (e.g., Official Pack implementation [i.e., STEP Extended, STEP ENB, STEP-sponsored Packs], BOSS to LOOT, Wrye Bash to MO).
- Minor - changes to mod lineup.
- Hotfix - Change/fix Guide instructions that require amendment to the changelog (however large or small) and any other 'hotfixes' (e.g., changes to mod install order).
Under this scheme[edit | edit source]
Current STEP: 2.9.2
- v2 brought changes to mod sorting and mod management software and introduced Pack support (if we had been consistent, this version # should be up to maybe 3-4 by now, but water under the bridge)
- v9 constitutes lots of mod changes.
- v2 constitutes hotfixes (if we had been historically consistent, some of these changes would have constituted minor increments)
