Welcome to the Wiki resource of OpenSCADA, an open Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System!

This resource is meant to collect and systematize the information about the project, as well as to coordinate the project-development activity. Under the Wiki ideology, users are welcome to update the information here, as well as to add new information.

1 Releases of the OpenSCADA system

• 0.9 Work
• 0.8.0 LTS (tests)
• 0.7.0 LTS (tests); 0.7.1; 0.7.2
• 0.6.0 (tests); 0.6.1; 0.6.2; 0.6.3; 0.6.4

1.1 The policy (started from 0.8)

OpenSCADA versions form into two branches:

• "Work": development-work version with night builds for some numbers and specific (subscription to support) Linux distributions.

0.9+rNNNN, where "NNNN" — SVN (SubVersion) revision number.

• "LTS" (Long Term Support): Formal and public release of last "Work" version, at releasing time, with support up to next iteration: "Work" -> "LTS" (zero update number), "Work"++.

0.8.U.S, where:

"U" — Regular update number, 2-4 month. After the regular updating period from "Work" version to "LTS" will be merging all fixes and improvements, also breaking some API compatibility, but not breaking the function and data compatibility, and U++.

"S" (doesn't implemented yet) — Service update number. For any hot fixes automatic or manual (for specific) will be built a service update (S++) version which allowed only for consumers subscribed to official support.
