Our SQA team assigns version numbers to NOVA package. This version number
informs whether package is production or test release, all numeric digits in
package name indicates a production release and a character letter in package
name indicates test release.
This version number is displayed in VTM software versions menu and in settings
of Apple iDevice under General> About>Payware Mobile Reader when an Apple
iDevice is attached to e355 and in the response of G25 control command. User
service API "SVC_INFO_PACKAGE(char *str)" also returns package name
and version number.
If you want to change name of the package and version number to some preferred
name and version number, you could do so by following below information.
Package name and version number are specified in file #version.sys, which is
in pwmapps.zip folder. The #version.sys is in compressed variable length
record (CVLR) format and the content is stored as Key and value pair. In order to
change package name and version number, you need to first convert this file to
text format using VLR utility tool, which is available in SDK.
•
vlr -a -c #version.sys #version.txt is the command to convert to
text format.
