Quartus 13.1

Hi,

maybe this Version - Subindex Interpretation I gave is influenced by the requirement management tools I have to deal with. Comparing this with baselines (which "freeze" the actual state as a recovery Point or Version history), there is normally the Option to either increase the Version number or just the subindex to diverse between Major changes or just formal corrections / updates :-)

Maybe I'm wrong but I think there were studies which version number is rated as "most trustworthy" by customers - the outcome was - IIRC - that low numbers are less trustworthy as they indicate the Software to be in an early development stage and maybe prone to bugs while high numbers indicate that the Software was modified many times already and is either still buggy (even being modified many times) or quite old.. But this really leaves the technical sector and goes into psychology and/or mystery :-D

BTW: To prevent a lot of tools refusing to be installed due to false main Version number, win8 reports to be 6.3 (Win7 was 6.2) ...
