Version numbers and codenames
Version numbers and codenames follow a unique logic in Linux Mint:
-
Codenames provide a way to refer to versions of Linux Mint that is more familiar
than using a version number.
-
Since version 5, Linux Mint has followed a 6 months release cycle and uses a
simplified version scheme. The version number simply gets incremented every 6
months for major releases.
-
If revisions are made to a particular release (a bit like Service Packs in Windows)
its version number gets a minor revision increment. For instance “3” becomes
“3.1”.
-
Since version 17.1 updates are based upon the latest Long Term Support version.
So the LTS version 17 is followed by 3 minor versions before the next major. This
gives all these releases a Long Term Support status.
-
Codenames in Linux Mint are always female names ending with “a”. They follow
the alphabetical order and the first letter of the codename corresponds to the index
of the version number in the alphabet.
So far Linux Mint has used the following codenames:
