You may have noticed that the naming scheme for several products has undergone a change.
Nagios Network Analyzer was the first product to make the switch to the new scheme – moving from version 2014R1.9 to version 2R1.0. Nagios XI will follow, moving from version 2014R2.7 to version 5R1.0. This change largely represents clarity and uniformity across our product line – the ultimate goal is reducing confusion.
In addition, the naming change provides key benefits internally, including:
- Increased development workflow clarity, especially regarding revision software.
- The ability to better coordinate our releases by changing the appropriate version number.
In addition to the above benefits, we think that the new naming scheme has a nice ring to it. We hope that the naming scheme change isn’t too confusing – let us know if you have any questions!
