Cathal,

I appreciate the information (I was wondering why so many posts LOL) ;-)

I completely understand the reasoning for the branding of the two products (CE and Evoq) to create a greater sense of separation. It's just that I think a better understanding of the version numbers is needed. It's hard at a first glace (without having a map of some sort) to know that Evoq 8.1.0 is based on DNN 7.4.1

If Evoq had the same version number then there would be some better understanding at a glance... Now I better understand the relationship between the two products.

I understand that Evoq updates for paying customers could potential provide regular updates that separate it from the release schedule of the base DNN platform. I was just curious if a base DNN platform update were to occur that addresses a bug or adds a new feature, if that itself would force a mandatory Evoq update so that Evoq users get that same benefit. I don't know if you know the answer to that question, I only ask because before Evoq, CE and PE were released simultaneously. Now with different release paths it opens up the possibility of loosing synchronicity to the base platform releases...that is unless DNN platform updates were to automatically force an Evoq update to be released as well.

Part of me agrees with you MWD, but part of me understands what DNN is trying to do by separating the versions, they allow for faster updates (should they need to) for the Evoq Edition.

Keeping the versions identical would be difficult if Evoq (as a packaged whole) has several updates between DNN Platform updates. But maybe what could be done is change the version number scheme... like...

DNN 7.4.1
Evoq 7.4.1.25

So you can see that Evoq is based on DNN Platform 7.4.1, but the Evoq package is on the 25th revision.

Again, it is ultimately up to DNN, but that is just my $0.02

Cathal, I think I ran into it today as well. It was not a long post, no special text or code included, but I wasn't able to post until I removed some text and posted it separately. Very strange.
