With previous versions of jaws, e.g. 3.5 to 3.7.x or 4.0.x to 4.5.x, an
upgrade was one where the number behind the period changed. It was only
with jaws 5.x and 6.x that an upgrade was a change from 5.x to 6.x and now
from 6.x to 7.x.
I think it depends on the companies policcy and version numbering. An
upgrade counts against a sma, a minor update does not.
Cheers,

Hi, A upgraid in software terms is when the version number it self before the point changes so a upgrade is 6 to 7. A update on a program is anything that causes the version number after the point to change so a update is 6.0 6.1 and so on Hth -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 7:45 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: The Next Version Number?
Hi Margaret,
Just read Eric's own message here, giving the details of changes in the update. Why is everyone discussing this in the first place? Weeks ago,
someone mentioned that an update would soon be coming out, and that Eric had announced it at a convention. This was very clearly the announcement of an interim update, which is a regular sort of thing. I believed it and didn't give it another thought until the list became alive with rumors and questions, back and forth. This could have been due to only two things.
One, maybe people aren't reading their list messages. Two, maybe some people don't know the difference between the terms "update" and "upgrade."
They are not synonyms. They don't mean the same thing. An update is a free modification to the current version of the program. An upgrade is a new
version or new release, whichever term you prefer.
Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Thomas" <iluvtoread@xxxxxxx> To: "jfw" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 4:09 AM Subject: Fw: The Next Version Number?

During the next two weeks, we will post another Free Update for JAWS 6.x users. This will be version 6.2 and in addition to many requested fixes, it will offer the ability to let a PAC Mate user control their PC and Desktop JAWS. This will include Keyboard in put, synthesizer, and Braille output all from the PAC Mate BX or QX models. There will be more details on this shortly.
Following that, will be an SMA release in September. This will be the version 7.0. Regards, Eric
