Upgrading product versions

Hi dcpollock,

The patch version is actually specified in the MXI or manifest.xml file. When your ZXP is uploaded to Adobe Exchange, the server inspects your ZXP and sets the patch version number according to its contents.

e.g.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><ExtensionManifest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ExtensionBundleId="com.test" ExtensionBundleVersion="3.4.90" Version="1.0">

          <ExtensionList>

                    <Extension Id="com.test" Version="3.4.90"/>

Note that there is currently a restriction in the validation of these version numbers which says that the last part of the version number must always be incremented for new patches. This restriction will be removed very shortly, but for now you cannot go from 3.1 -> 4.0; you must go from 3.1 -> 3.2 or 3.1 -> 4.2.

Best wishes,

Fraser

According to https://www.facebook.com/AdobeExchange#!/AdobeExchange/posts/481585205265924 it looks like this restriction is now gone.

Hi PECourtejoie,

Yes; you're right - this restriction should now have been removed. You can now use any version number for a new patch, as long as it's a higher version number overall than the previous one.
