KNIME Extention Version Numbering

Does KNIME provide any hints or best practices on how to set the version number of an extention that I am upgrading?

Should I just follow the classic major-minor-service template from Eclipse?

Thank you

Hi @anil_oezer,

you are free to use you own version scheme. If you want to, you can adjust it to the current version of KNIME Analytics Platform you are developing it for, e.g. put the current version of your extension to 5.4.0. You can complement it with a timestamp, see here for an example.

Here is how some of the trusted extensions do it:

PS: also described in the wikipedia article is calendar versioning, which is a neat alternative of semantic versioning (major.minor.patch).
