Version Numbering and Updates

VergeOS uses semantic versioning with two different formats:

• Legacy Format: Major.Minor.Patch.Hotfix (e.g., 4.13.4.2)
• New Format (26.0+): Year.Quarter.Minor.Patch (e.g., 26.0.1)

  • First two digits represent the year (25 = 2025, 26 = 2026)
  • Third digit represents the quarter development started (0-3)
  • Remaining digits represent minor and patch versions

Update Process

• Minor, Patch, and Hotfix updates support live system updates with no impact to running workloads
• Major version updates may require a system reboot to complete the update process
• Updates should always be performed sequentially within a major version (e.g., 4.13.2 → 4.13.3 → 4.13.4)
• When upgrading from 4.13.x to 26.0.x, follow the upgrade path through 4.13.4.2 first
