Applicable Firmware Revision

This guide is applicable to ROS® software version 3.11.

Firmware/User Guide Version Numbering System

ROS® has a three-digit version numbering system of the form X.Y.Z where each digit is a
number starting from zero. The 'X.Y' digits represent the functional version of ROS® whereas
the 'Z' digit represents firmware patches. The 'X' digit is incremented for major functional
updates of the product. The 'Y' digit is incremented for minor functional updates of the product.
The 'Z' digit is incremented for bug fixes, cosmetic enhancements and other minor issues.
User guides follow the same format. In general, a user guide will have the same 'X.Y' digits
as the firmware to which it corresponds.
It is RuggedCom's policy to provide Web access to only the latest 'patch' release for a version
of firmware. If you decide that an upgrade is merited, then getting all the fixes only makes
sense. It is for this reason that release notes are created detailing all patches for a given
functional version.
