Cloud Wiki Versioning Strategy

Cloud Wiki administrators may notice that the minor version of Cloud Wiki tends to change rather rapidly, while the major version remains the same. Cloud Wiki employs the version number internally, via the minor-version and major-version settings on the database, to ensure that older content is correctly migrated with each update.

An increase in major-version indicates a change in the database's tables, itself, and should occur rather infrequently -- this usually coincides with the addition of new functionality to the database.

An increase in minor-version indicates that there has been a change that affects how content is generated by the wiki, and will signal that the server should clear any cached content for consistency reasons.
