📋 How WCPOS Versioning Works
🏠 Version Families (e.g., 1.8.x)
WCPOS uses a family-based versioning system that's designed to keep things simple for you:
- All components in the same family work together - If you see 1.8.x, everything is compatible
- Different patch numbers are normal - The desktop app might be on 1.8.3 while the plugin is on 1.8.7
- Only the first two numbers matter for compatibility - 1.8.3 and 1.8.7 are both in the "1.8 family"
🔧 What This Means for You
- Stay within the same family - Don't mix 1.7.x with 1.8.x components
- Always update to the latest versions - You'll get bug fixes and improvements
- Check this page regularly - This is your official source for version information
- Enable automatic updates - Let the apps notify you when updates are available
⚠️ Important for Pro Users:
Pro plugin updates require an active license (yearly or lifetime). If your yearly license has expired,
you're "stuck" on that version and should NOT update other components as it may cause compatibility issues.
🚀 Getting Updates
Automatic Updates (Recommended)
- Desktop App: Enable auto-updates in settings - you'll be notified when new versions are available

💡 Pro Tip:
As long as you keep all components updated to the latest versions within the same family,
everything should work perfectly together. The system is designed to be simple - just stay current!
