The first one being a new version of NDVP, the NetApp Docker Volume Plugin.

So the first thing that you'll notice about the new release is a different naming scheme.

It's still called the NetApp Docker Volume Plugin, but rather than being a version 1, version 2, version 3, it is version 17.04.

17 representing the year, of course.

04 representing the month.

So our goal here is to change to, well, a more predictable release cycle.

So the expectation is that we'll have quarterly major releases.

So you'll see a 17.06, for example, or 07, depending on when the timing works out.

And then we will also have a third identifier in there.

So, for example, you may see a 17.04.1.2.3 as time goes on.

So those dot-dot releases are either bug fixes or sometimes will be pushing new features into a beta-like status.

But ultimately, particularly if you're doing something like launching NDVP using the managed plugin ecosystem, right, so Docker plugin install, as long as you always use the 17.04 or 17.06 or whatever the next one happens to be, it will always pull the latest of those dot releases.

You know, nobody would ever need more than 64K of RAM, so I'm going to take that risk.

Hey, you take that risk.

Things don't change that much over 100 years.

I mean, come on.

The Y2K bug wasn't a bug.

Have you upgraded your cotton gin?

I can't look at you straight-faced right now.

So among the other actual improvements, aside from just changing the naming scheme, really the focus with NDVP for this particular release was around consistency.
