4.4.4. Version Vs Revision¶
You might have heard both the terms Version and Revision. On one hand, they both are used to help identify the iteration of your work, but they both have a different purpose.
Version is a Major theme of your work. Revision is minor increments on top of that.
Let’s see an example of Versions.
As per https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/android as of Aug 2024, the following is the market share of versions Android.
Version | Market Share |
|---|---|
14.0 | 30.84% |
13.0 | 20.57% |
12.0 | 15.09% |
11.0 | 13.32% |
10.0 | 7.23% |
9.0 Pie | 4.63% |
So, 14.0, 13.0 and so on are the versions, and there would be many revisions for those versions. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest/+log/refs/heads/android-14.0.0_r74 for some revisions for Android 14.
