Description
The version numbering scheme in benefit across all our products is designed to simplify upgrade management for developers: * A patch level change indicates a minor feature or bugfix. Methods MAY have been added to the API, but none have been removed. eg. Code written for version 1.0.0 will work on version 1.0.9 * A minor level change indicates a change to the API which may require some code changes. API changes are minor, but are necessary for bug fixes or new features. eg. Code written for version 1.0.3 MAY require changes for 1.1 * A major level indicates big changes to the API or considerable extra functionality. Developers can expect significant changes to bring their code up to date. eg. Code written for version 1.1 is unlikely to work under 2.0 The Big Faceless Java Report Generator is the leading Java component for transforming XML to PDF documents.
