CUBRID Release Policy
A new improved version of CUBRID is planned to be released every six months. A beta version will be announced first. Then a stable version will be released between two and four weeks.
Every CUBRID release has the following format:
CUBRID 2008 R4.1
This is a full format, while CUBRID 8.4.1 is considered to be a shorter format. Below you can see a breakdown of each constituent.
- Major version: 2008. Significant changes to the architecture of the CUBRID Server will result in the increment of the major version number.
- Minor version: R4.1, which is equivalent to 4.1. The minor version number is incremented every time a new major extension is added to the system.
- Maintenance version: R4.1. The maintenance version number will elevate by one when a new version is released with bug fixes or new features.
Additionally, every CUBRID release will be wrapped in a package. Drivers and administration tools are installed separately.
When a new version of CUBRID is released, it is recommended to upgrade the Server. However, drivers are not necessary to be upgraded, though still recommended. For upgrade guide please see Release Notes distributed together with each release.
When packages are released, you can find Linux and Windows compatible installation files.
