RE: Upgrade and New Versions

The question is not very clear. Upgrade - an action - is updating the software from 'old version' to 'new version'.
New version is the updated software with or without new functionalities.
New version of software may be for either or all of the following
-New functionality/feature
-Old functionalities with more stability / robustness
-Increased performance
-Support to additional platforms
etc.
There may be Major upgrade and minor upgrade.
Release of Major version (with high number of changes when compared to old version) is called Major version and updating the existing software with the major version is called Major upgrade.
Release of minorversion (with less signigicant changes when compared to old version) is called Minorversion and updating the existing software with the minor version is called minor upgrade. |
