Patching with Deployer

It’s now easier than ever to update and create packages and apply them to your Jadu platform using our Jadu patching tool, Deployer.

Deployer dashboard

This easy-to-understand user interface makes technical tasks that would usually require specialist skills, into an easy ‘patching’ process, which non-technical users can use and apply to your servers in minutes.

We want to ensure you don’t miss out on any key features, bug fixes and security improvements...

Versioning​

Jadu use Semantic versioning principles when versioning our software.

In brief this means, given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, we increment the:

  1. MAJOR version when we make incompatible API changes that break backwards compatibility in some way,
  2. MINOR version when we add new functionality, but in a backwards compatible manner, and
  3. PATCH version when we make backwards compatible bug fixes.

Therefore, we expect MINOR and PATCH versions to be applied without the need for you to undertake a regression test of any custom developments.

However, MAJOR versions will include backwards compatibility breaks and you should retest your custom developments on a development system, before applying the changes to your live environment.
