Release numbers usually consist of a single number, although sometimes they may have a minor release number separated by a period from the major release number. Other forms are for internal test releases.
All components of SIMulation Workbench keep there major and minor version numbers in sync. Updates that just increment the release numbers are not dependent on updates from other components.
| Note: Updating to a new major version number requires a corresponding update to the real-time host. Updating to a new minor version number may need a corresponding update to the real-time host for all features to work. |
