ControlSuite versioning

ControlSuite follows the Tungsten standard for Product Release Types as defined in the Tungsten Automation Software Lifecycle Policy.

The majority of Tungsten software is closed source and previously used a software versioning standard to denote the release type. The version numbers are now date-driven and formatted as:

<Year>.<Quarter>.<Update>.<Fix>, where each component represents the following:

<Year>	The release year where there is a major change in the software with significant modifications to architecture, design, user experience, and/or functionality.
<Quarter>	The quarter in the year the software is released and reflects the release of new functionality and bug fixes and possibly minor changes to the underlying architecture.
<Update>	This number reflects the release of very minor feature changes and bug fixes without making changes to the underlying architecture.
<Fix>	This number reflects the release of bug fixes.

For example, version 2025.2 means that ControlSuite is released in the second quarter of the year 2025, and does not include an update or fix.
