Releases

OSDx releases can be downloaded from the Teldat Support Website.

Versioning

OSDx uses a form of semantic versioning for its releases, uniquely representing releases with four numbers: Major version, minor version, client version, and revision.

Each major version change represents a significant internal change to OSDx, while minor version changes are newer snapshots of the current major version. Minor versions usually contain new features and improvements. Client versions are variants specifically tailored for a customer. Client version 1 is the generic OSDx version. Finally, revisions contain minor changes and fixes for the previous version.

Distribution files

Each distribution bundle comes with the set of files needed to install OSDx, OSDx’s MIB files, and some general information about the bundle.
