Major Versions and Minor Versions
The first two components of the Grand Avenue Software version (e.g., “16” and “0” or "16" and "1") are the major and minor version numbers.
The minor version is changed each time a new version of the software is released.
The major version is changed when the software has a significant architectural or server platform support change.
Architectural Changes

The introduction of a new user interface at Grand Avenue Software (GAS) 16.0 is an example of a significant architectural change.
Server Platform Support Changes
GAS servers depend on three supporting platforms:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server
Database: Microsoft SQL Server
Development Platform: .NET Framework
On the server side, this is the set of Windows Server, SQL Server, and .NET versions on which the release has been tested. For example, in the GAS 16.0 release notes, we announced discontinued support for SQL Server 2012 and added support for SQL Server 2022.
