Increment Version # in Viewer Builder when code revisions are done

May 7, 2012 11:03 AM

We often run into bugs that we're told have been patched in Viewer Builder.

 

When we build a new Viewer in VB, the version number is the same, even if codefixes have been put in place since the original release of that version. I think that's a bad practice that should be fixed.

 

This is dangerous for several reasons, and is very confusing for anyone who is building viewers:

  • You may believe testing has already been completed for that version, even though there is new code that has been added since you've last tested/built an app.
  • You can't tell if you're getting the version that has fixes -- the version appears the same as the previous version of the viewer you built your app on.
  • Its' difficult when you're reporting bugs, because you can't report the exact version of the viewer where the bug is occuring.
  • You can be unsure if you have built your app on the latest version, or if incremental bug/code fixes have been released since you initially built your viewer.

 

Thanks
