Hi,

what is the best practice to follow for solution versioning?

In a deployment,everyone has different phases,builds,hotfixes etc

How can we manage it smartly?

    I prefer using major.minor.build.revision or year.month.day.revision for solution versioning.

    You mean the version number?

    I use <Major>.<Minor>.<Build>

    where Major is incremented every time you introduce some significant functionality or upgraded to a new version of CRM.

    Minor is incremented every time you release an update to the solution that introduces minor features that are building on existing functionality.

    Build is incremented with every single release - e.g. bug fixes

    Hope this helps,

    Scott
