Version

Version

n. A completed body of work, usually to which no further alterations are made. The first such Version is termed the “original.” Subsequent additions, corrections, changes, and/or other improvements may be incorporated and “frozen” (i.e., no further alterations allowed) to create later Versions, also sometimes called EDITIONS. See also VERSION NUMBER.

NOTE: Below is a summary of the GLOSSARY'S Version history. The Version names are LINKS, permitting you to inspect their contents if you so desire.

• VERSION 2.0 — The current version (i.e., what you're reading right now!), although still something of a Work-In-Progress. The addition of tabbed pages, with individual ENTRIES for each TERM, and the implementation of local and global KEYWORDS are perhaps its most distinguishing features.


• VERSION 1.5 — An older, unpublished, transitional version, used to test and verify the changes necessary to implement v 2.0. Notable for the introduction and extensive use of CSS—the web's standard of Cascading Style Sheets—to enable a much more flexible and maintainable semantic mark-up. Translation: a massive performance tune-up took place “under the hood,” out of the reader's sight, while most of the outward text—a few new and changed ENTRIES excepted—remained identical to v 1.0.


• VERSION 1.0 — The original and thus oldest version, used as a relatively quick and simple beachhead to get the project started, also distributed in hard-copy form to various friends and coworkers in order to gain insights and feedback.
