Introduction

  • pdk is a combination of one or more components each having its own versioning scheme with nomenclature X.Y.Z where X, Y, Z stand for the major, minor and patch version respectively.

  • pdk follows a version nomenclature of X.Y.Z.W where X.Y.Z is the Toolkit Version and W is a running sequence that gets incremented every time there is an update with in the same Major Version.

  • The release notes are updated any time any of those versions change, with the Changelog providing the details of the changes.

  • Once a user downloads pdk all other components can be downloaded using the upgrade command.
