Platforms

SciDAVis runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS X; possibly also on other platforms like *BSD.

Version numbers

Full SciDAVis releases have a major and minor number. Within a major number, the software should support backwards compatibility of data files and scripting APIs.

Releases with 3 numbers are beta releases, and/or release candidates. These will have the same major/minor number as the full release they were based on. The only exception is a X.0.Y release, as there is no X.0 full release. An X.0.Y release is a beta release prior to the first full release of major version X.

Installation

See INSTALL.md.

Also consider using a prebuilt package, available for PC and Mac or Linux.
