I hope Google can translate this for you, if need be...<br /><br />Liferay GA1 is "general availability" and is the first version at the new level.<br /><br />Liferay then releases individual Fix Packs that have bug fixes, performance optimizations and sometimes new functionality.<br /><br />A group of Fix Packs will be wrapped up together and be called a Service Pack. The downloads you see are GA1 with the Service Pack applied. Each Service Pack corresponds to a certain Fix Pack number, so starting with Service Pack 8 is the same as starting with GA1 but applying Fix Pack 70 (If I remember the fix pack number correctly). Starting with the Service Pack bundle is just easier than having to apply the fix packs manually before you start.<br /><br />The log message and on screen version string, the "Starting Liferay Digital Experience Platform 7.0.10 GA1 (Wilberforce / Build 7010 / June 15, 2016)", only ever shows the GA1 version number, it will never show the fix pack or service pack number in the display. I'd prefer if it did, but there are a lot of variables that would need to be included before it could output the message (i.e. what FP is installed, whether you have hot fixes, did you start from a SP or did you manually apply fix packs, etc). For simplicity sake, it's just easier to say "this is GA1" without including the rest of the processing and/or details. The patching tool's info command is the best source of actual version number and installed fix packs/service pack that your environment has.<br /><br />The target platforms versioning is a little more confusing. For CE releases, it is generally the 7.1 prefix plus the GA, minus one. So 7.1 GA4 will be listed as 7.1.3 (GA1 is 7.1.0, GA2 is 7.1.1, etc). This is because the Maven version numbers don't really sync well with the GA release name, so this was the compromise.<br /><br />For DXP, the version is listed as 7.x.10 with an optional fixpack extension, so like 7.1.10-fp12. There will not be any -sp2 suffixes, just the fixpack one (since, like I said, the service pack is just all of the fixpacks up to a given number).<br /><br />The link to Jorge's post about version numbers, that's 9 years old. Although many of the concepts haven't changed, some have so that post may no longer apply.David H Nebinger2019-09-10T14:28:38Zversioning scheme for Liferay 7Daniel Cruzhttps://liferay.dev/en/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785333&messageId=1119911782019-01-11T16:36:01Z2019-01-11T16:36:01Z<p>Quería saber si existe un articulo o documento como <a
href="https://community.liferay.com/blogs/-/blogs/explaining-the-new-versioning-scheme-for-liferay-6">este,
</a>donde se explique como es el ciclo de vida de las actualizaciones
de liferay 7, la pregunta me surge por varias cosas que he visto, por
ejemplo en la pagina de descargas de liferay customer están las
siguientes opciones para liferay 7.0 opcion producto:</p>
<p>Liferay DXP 7.0 Service Pack 9<br /> Liferay DXP 7.0 Service Pack
8<br /> Liferay DXP 7.0 Service Pack 7<br /> Liferay DXP 7.0 Service
Pack 6......<br /> Liferay DXP 7.0 GA1</p>
<p>aquí ya surgen mis dudas.</p>
<p>1) ¿por que despues de la primera version cambia la nomenclatura?. La
version que descargue cuando comencé el proyecto actual es el
liferay-dxp-digital-enterprise-7.0-sp8, sin embargo, cuando Tomcat
inicia para desarrollar, en el log aparece "Starting Liferay
Digital Experience Platform 7.0.10 GA1 (Wilberforce / Build 7010 /
June 15, 2016)"</p>
<p>2) a este punto, no se por ejemplo si en una instancia de pruebas,
que ya estaba instalada antes de que yo llegara al proyecto, en este
caso con Wildfly, ¿que release tengo (GA1, GA2, .....etc )?, si en
Patchingtool info me sale que estoy en SP8, pero no la release GAXX o RCXX.</p>
<p>3)Ahora, para configurar mi ambiente de desarrollo local, para que
tenga algunas ventajas como el debugg de portal existe el tutorial <a
href="https://dev.liferay.com/es/develop/reference/-/knowledge_base/7-0/target-platform-gradle-plugin">Target
Platform Gradle Plugin </a>,donde se debe configurar la propiedad
"liferay.workspace.target.platform.version" que por defecto
tiene 7.0-GA7 pero dice que para utilizar un bundle de dxp utilizar la
sintaxis 7.0-sp7, la cual segun la pagina de descargas proviene de
Liferay DXP 7.0 GA1, ¿por que esta diferencia entre lo que va de
comunity 7.0-GA7 contra lo que hay en descargas dxp 7.0 GA1 ?</p>
<p>4) si se actualiza de SP8 a SP9, ¿me cambia también la base GA1 a
otra ?</p>
<p>5) Si estoy en SP8 e instalo Fixpack 64, ¿se actualiza de SP8 a SP9 automaticamente?</p>
<p>Si hay alguien que me pueda aclarar estas dudas se l
