About Box

Current Version

This number indicates the current version, or release, of DayNotez Desktop you have installed. It does not represent the version of DayNotez that is installed on your handheld device. To find the handheld version number, bring up the menu "Options->About" while running DayNotez on your device.

The version number is broken up into three parts, Major Release.Minor Release.Maintenance Release. Major release numbers usually change when significant changes or totally new software is released. Minor release number changes usually indicate that new features have been added to the current Major release. Maintenance release numbers change when bug fixes and internal changes have been made to the product. For example, if DayNotez Desktop added support for sending email, that would probably be indicated by an increment in the "Minor Release" number, since it is a new feature. If the only change to the application are fixes to the printing behavior to fix problems experienced by some users, that would be cause for a Maintenance release.

Build Number

The build number is a constantly incrementing number that usually only gets reset to 0 when a major revision is released. This number is important when reporting problems with the product. Don't worry if you see the build number change several numbers between release notices. There are usually several "build updates" that are internal to Natara Software that are not publicly available.
