Next version name 5

[looslib]

What will be the next version of NX be named?

It has been stated in the past that they will not go to using the year as the naming convention, so NX2019 is not an option.
NX13 is still an option and it has been done before with UGII, which had a V13 and a V13.1.
Does it get a new name entirely?
NX1 was initially distributed to Beta testers as UGII V19, then changed to NX1 during the Beta cycle.

PTC has used all manners of naming: Pro/Engineer V1 through V20, Pro/E 2000 and 2001, Wildfire V1 to V5 and now Creo 1 to 5.
Autodesk used versions before switching to year.
Solidworks uses year.
Catia uses version and release numbering, with releases not always backward compatible.

Yes, it's Friday!!!

They've announced that it will only be known as "NX". But, I'm sure there will be internal version numbers you can reference when in need of support...

https://community.plm.automation.si...-Blog/NX-Continuous-Release-F-A-Q/ba-p/499854

from the FAQ:

Q: Is the traditional NX release numbering changing with the Continuous Release?

A: Yes, with Continuous Release the vision is to remove the focus on release numbering as the ‘decoder ring’ from the mindset of customer in terms of perceived quality and deployment readiness. Each new release is purely “NX”.

I'm going with "NX 1847", based on a PR resolution letter I received.

Dear Customer,

Reference: PR Number 9015891

Siemens PLM believes that the problem you reported where the Global Parameters
of the Sheet Metal Preferences were not accepted if OK was selected, will be
resolved by code changes made to the release of our product NX 1847.

Dave,

LOL - But what if your issue isn't fixed - then what version will it really be?

I'm going with NX Beta Forever or possibly NX Infinite Beta (loosely based on cowski's "welcome to the NX Beta Testing program" post he made a few months back - which I thought was hilarious).

The Official name is "NX Continuous Release".
The Package itself will be called NX. No version numbers in the name anymore.

My Guess is that the "development" name NX1847 is just pointing to the release date, CW 47 in 2018

I am going to like this, but there are some who simply don't want to upgrade; so I wonder what will happen with those companies ?

@xwheelguy wait a minute...so if they change the name to NX Infinite Beta, and don't release it as NX1847, my issue may never be resolved!!

1847 is the "Working name" for "NX Next version under new numbering scheme". I.e Not NX13.x
1847 is the year when Siemens started the business.
the new naming convention has not , to my knowledge, been released yet.
Next week is the PLM Europe, maybe they will mention it then.

You can decide , Switch on or off continuous update.

Regards,
Tomas

Just came back from PLM-Europe.
Naming for NX visibly will stay NX without numbering. The only way to tell which version you are using will be from the Help Information.

NX1847 is indeed the official name for the first Release of "NX Continuous Release)
You will be receiving (or able to download) bugfixes and minor upgrades once a month.
The BIG Releases with Major upgrades will be distributed (or made available for Download) once every 6 months.

With Distributed I mean that you will have the possibility to tell NX to automatically update on it's own.
You will see on the top right a colored point which will indicate if there updates available, downloaded and or Installed.

The Next Big Release for NX will be "Called" NX1872. Most probably in honour of Carl Friedrich von Siemens, born in 1872.

This new versioning has already caused some questions at our shop. Typically we would look ahead, and decide we are going to move to a new version, and make the jump once the first MR is released. With NXCR, there really won't be a MR release, like we have known, so that perceived first step of stability is gone. I'm thinking the new way of thinking will be X number of monthly updates, after NXCR is released, or something to that effect.
