Profile versioning

The versioning of a profile uses the syntax Major.Minor.Errata

• An increment of the Major revision signifies that a pre-existing requirement has changed, thereby breaking backward compatibility
• An increment of the Minor revision signifies that the change has added incremental requirements, but pre-existing requirements have not changed
• An increment of Errata revision signifies that no requirements have changed (use to handle typo's etc.)

Profile and Usage Guide Process

The usage guide corresponds to a profile and is the document which is reviewed by the community and approved by the OCP Incubation Committee.

• Errata changes generally do not require an update to the Usage Guide
• Minor and Major changes do require an update to the Usage Guide. Hence, the Usage Guide changes should be reviewed and approved before the corresponding usage guide is updated.
