Summary
This article describes the versioning rules for the BLAZE server and desktop client, the installer file naming conventions, and the compatibility policy for the BLAZE Android and iOS mobile applications.
BLAZE Server & Client Versioning
Versioning Rules
BLAZE server and client follow Semantic Versioning, with an additional release date and build number. The official BLAZE versioning starts from v1.2. Any versions earlier than 1.1 represent beta releases.
Format
X.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD.Build
| Item | Meaning | Note |
| X | Major version | Used when there are significant or breaking changes. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed when the major version changes. When the major version is incremented, the minor and patch versions are reset to 0. |
| Y | Minor version | Used when new features are added. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed when the minor version changes. When the minor version is incremented, the patch version is reset to 0. |
| Z | Patch version | Used for urgent or small changes, such as bug fixes and security updates. Backward compatibility is maintained when the patch version changes. |
| Date | Release date | Written as 8 digits in the format YYYYMMDD. The year uses four digits. Month and day use two digits each. Not directly related to feature changes or bug fixes. |
| Build Number | Build number | Follows the build number assigned in the CI system. Automatically increments by 1 (0, 1, 2, …). Not directly related to feature changes or bug fixes. |
Versioned Server/Client Installer File Naming
Installer file names include the model name, version, OS type, CPU architecture, and file extension.

BLAZE Mobile
BLAZE Android and iOS mobile apps are always provided in the app stores as the latest available version.
- Mobile apps are backward compatible, so they can connect to older versions of the BLAZE server without reinstalling the app.
- If you use an older mobile app with a newer BLAZE server, you can only use the features that are supported by your installed mobile app version. Newer features that require an updated mobile app will not be available.
