Versioning System

Learn about Ask's versioning system

Ask versions are described by three numbers, e.g. 1.0.0

• The first number increases if:

  • There are major new features.

  • There's a drop for backwards compatibility.

  • E.g. a built-in function gets renamed.

• The second number increases if:

  • We add smaller new features.

  • We change existing features but keep backwards compatibility.

  • Bigger bug fixes.

• The third number increases if:

  • There are small bug fixes and improvements.

  • We change something behind the scenes that doesn't impact the end-user.

You can always safely install updates where only the last two digits increases.

If the second one increases you might also want to read the release notes to learn about possible new features.

If the first number increases we recommend that you always read the release notes as there might be breaking changes!
