Hotfix
A fix on a Planon release that represents a critical issue for a customer that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Process
• A hotfix is identified by a specific release number (for example: 97.0.0.2, where the last digit indicates the number of hotfix issues for a specific release.)
• Typically, a hotfix is implemented on the master branch and on the customer's release version.
| Because of this, a fix is not always available on all versions. Example A hotfix is implemented on two releases: 97.0.0.2, L99. This information implies that a fix is available on: Release | Fix available? |
---|
L96 | No | 97.0.0.1 | No | 97.0.0.2 | Yes | L98 | No | L99 (and later) | Yes |

Hotfix numbering
In the previous example there are two hotfix releases: 97.0.0.1 and 97.0.0.2. These number are consequtive. Don't be alarmed if you seem to miss a hotfix number - for various reasons hotfixes that are started are not always delivered. Hence, the numbering is not necessarily consecutive.
