Like most modern software, PrestaShop has been available since its inception in different versions that are incremented with each update. Versions are named by a sequence of numbers separated by dots, each number indicating a more or less important update.
Up to version 8, PrestaShop did not follow a standard versioning. For example, for the 1.7.6.9 version, the 1.7 indicates the major version number, the 6 is the minor version number, while the 9 concerns a patch. With the transition to version 8, you no longer need the 1.The 8 is the major version.
📝To go further, you can consult the terms of the versioning standard now used by PrestaShop (it is called "SemVer", a shortcut for Semantic Versioning): https://semver.org/lang/fr/ |
