Version naming

Purpose: To provide a unified and clear explanation of the current naming conventions for StarRocks software packages.

Numbering​

The version numbering format for released versions is in the form of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE], where PRERELEASE indicates the type and number of the prerelease version. Detailed explanations are as follows:

MAJOR​

The major version is incremented when incompatible API changes are made or there are major adjustments to the product's overall strategy.

MINOR​

The minor version is incremented when functionality is added in a backward-compatible manner. This typically refers to the addition of new features or improvements that do not break the API of the current major version or the main behavioral patterns of the software.

PATCH​

The patch version is incremented when backward-compatible bug fixes are made. This is usually for bug fixes or minor improvements that do not affect the software's main functions or API.

PRERELEASE​

Adding a prerelease identifier to the version indicates that the build is for testing by early adopters. The prerelease identifier will indicate the version number of the prerelease, such as rc01, rc02, etc. Currently, the only prerelease tag in use is rc followed by a two-digit number such as rc01.

备注

Release Candidates are only built for the initial minor and major versions. For example, 3.4.0-rc01 or 4.0.0-rc01.

Version examples​

  • 3.4.0: The official release version.
  • 3.4.0-rc01: The first prerelease version of 3.4.0. For instance, version 3.3 also had a second prerelease version 3.3.0-rc02.
  • 3.4.1, 3.4.2: Bug fix versions.

Software package naming rules​

The naming convention for software packages is: StarRocks-x.y.z[-rcxx]{-os}{-arch}.tar.gz. (That is, the main form is Product-version-os-arch)

  1. x.y.z: follows the three-digit version numbering rule. -rcxx is an optional prerelease version number, such as -rc01, -rc02.
  2. OS includes: ubuntu, centos. Mandatory.
  3. ARCH includes: amd64. Mandatory. (There is no community edition for arm64 yet.)

Example software package names​

  1. StarRocks-3.4.0-rc01-ubuntu-amd64.tar.gz: The prerelease version of 3.4.0, built for Ubuntu Linux.
  2. StarRocks-3.4.1-centos-amd64.tar.gz: The PATCH revision built for Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS.
