Multiple Release Numbers on the Bookshelf

The release number on the title page of a document might not correspond to the current product release number. However, all documentation delivered with the product, regardless of release number on the title page, will support your use of the current product release. The release number changes only when a significant portion of a document changes to support a new or updated product release. If no substantive changes are made to a document, the release number does not change. For example, a document for Version 11.0.00 may still be valid for Release 11.1.00 or even Service Pack 11.1.02. Documentation bookshelves always reflect the current product release number.

Occasionally, we must update documentation outside of a new or updated release. To indicate a minor change to the documentation that does not invalidate it for any releases that it supports, we update the edition number on the cover page. First editions do not have an edition number.
