Application Version Control

Application Development supports version control for applications. The user always sees the latest published version of an application.

Version Control starts the numbering of released versions of an application at version 1.0. It then increments the version number by 0.1 for each new release. The version numbers are, therefore, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on.

Application Development lists all the published versions of an application, allows reversion to a preceding version, and deletion of any version except the latest. Reversion to a preceding version creates a new version, with a copy of the preceding version. For instance, if an application has five versions, 1.0 to 1.4 inclusive, reversion to version 1.2 creates a new version, 1.5, that is a copy of version 1.2.

Application Development provides two means to access the versions: from the expansion pane on the right, and from the App Config tab on the left. The expansion pane and the App Config tab allow reversion. Only the App Config tab allows deletion, and shows the author for each version.

Application Development does not support the simultaneous publication of more than one version of an application. For example, it is not possible to publish versions 1.0 and 1.1.
