Yearly release schedules of new code releases seems to be a good balance, yet still has some comapnies lagging behind in their upgrade process.

This release need is offset by the customers reluctance to trust newly released code and their need to keep the engineering staff productive. Softwrae development needs to get released code out to their customers so they can get feedback on their next project. Since 8.0 is out and John said 'a year further down the road' for NX9, I would quess that 8.0 will have many MRs (8.0.x) or there will be a point release (8.x). When NX9.0 is released it will only be on 64-bit computers. Whatever Siemens calls the next release, be it 8.1 or 8.5, it will run on 32-bit Wintel computers. Some of the 10.x releases may not have required new license files but he functionality was changing with. But that was due to errors in the 14.0 code base.įirst didgit after the integer being non-zero releases have been rare and ususally require a new license file.

I think there was also a 14.1 which could be installed as a full release. RE: NX9 only 64 bit? RUGmechanic (Mechanical) So while I can't 'officially' confirm your speculation about the name of the NEXT major release or where it 'numerically' fits relative to NX 8.0 and NX 9.0, I can say that the timeframe at which users will need to move to 64-bit only systems is perhaps a year further down the road then many of them had assumed. Other than that, 'point releases' are just as much a MAJOR release as are any other integer-labeled releases and their development cycle will be just as long. NX 7.5) (or 'POINT one' as it was years ago with UG V11.1). NX 7.0) while some are 'POINT five' (i.e. But then if you think about it, EVERY release is a 'point release' just that most are 'POINT zero' (i.e. Only as long as you understand that a 'point release' is called that because it shares it's integer-designation with another release. RE: NX9 only 64 bit? PhoeNX (Mechanical) 27 Oct 11 19:38 To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. And like with NX 7.5, these prior 'point releases' were never considered to be maintenance releases, but rather primarily as enhancement releases, requiring a full install, a new license sheet and no backward compatibility, with this last item being the real differentiator between a Maintenance Release and a major release, irrespective of the 'name' seen on the start-up flash screen. The 'point' were talking about here is the FIRST one AFTER the integer, not the second one, which indicates the MR level.Īnd for the record, NX 7.5 is NOT the first 'point release' that we've ever delivered although I have to admit that it had been awhile since the last one. Well then Tony, I think you've answered your own question, just don't confuse a 'point release' with a 'maintenance release'.
