RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION: Normally, the X-Pedition product family supports two active release lines. The older line is always in maintenance only mode and receives only maintenance improvements—the newer line receives maintenance improvements and introduces new features. For a brief time, however, the X-Pedition will support a special third line—E9.0.8. This line introduces the Security Attack Monitor (SAM) feature on the E9.0 code base. E9.0.8 is a mainte

RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION A release line is defined by the first two digits in the name, e.g. E9.0 and E9.1. The third digit increments with each release during the development phase of a line. For example, E9.0.7.0 is the seventh development release for the E9.0 line. The fourth digit is incremented with each release during the maintenance-only period of a release line. Thus E9.0.7.4 is the fourth maintenance-only release for the E9.0 line. Should a bug fix be required between regula
