How have you people not caught onto this yet?

2020.24.6.3 and 2020.24.6.4 are exactly the same. How have you people not figured this out by now?

I guess my public school education failed me. It could be in the math part on comparing two strings of numbers or how often something needs to happen to be "200% of the time". Or maybe it was in language arts regarding the meaning of the word "exactly".

“You people.” Oh, this will be good.

Software releases....

XXXX.X.X.X

The first set of X's is the year
The second set of X(s) is the week
The third set of X marks the actual release number
The final set of X is the revision version.

Literally any time a release comes out where the last set of numbers is the only change means it's just bug fixes, no need to make a million ****ing threads about it with the same exact comments "looks like just bug releases!"

2020.24.6.3 and 2020.24.6.4 are exactly the same. How have you people not figured this out by now?

Hello Johny-come-lately. Yes, we've all known this since early 2017 when Tesla switched to Year.Week numbering scheme. Looks like you finally caught up to the rest of us. Congrats to your huge brain for figuring this out.

BTW, your logic doesn't actually work, since many (most) releases do not have the fourth ("revision") digit. If Tesla was using your scheme, all releases would start with y.w.r.1 (or whatever . revision they release), but they don't. Most releases only have three places. The only use the fourth place for interim releases which are mostly small bug fixes, but still could have other major software changes.

200% of the time, the release notes are exactly the same. Yet every. single. update gets posted and people just go "oh looks like release notes are the same!"

Since you haven't been around here for a while, it's also very well known that Tesla does this intentionally, unlike many other software vendors. The do not actually publish every change,update, bug fix in the release notes. Most of the time, they're exactly the same. For instance, you'll never see Tesla publish "Resolved issue# TDS-1234A which fixed a bug in the emergency automatic braking system." That would just open them up to huge liability lawsuits. I'm sure there are quite a large number of these kinds of bug fixes in every single software release, and you'll never, ever know. So to you, the uninformed user, they might appear "exactly the same", but I assure you, they are not. Just look to people like verygreen and wk057 who tear through the code to find and publish these changes.

No s u g a r

Good way to get banned. Congrats again.

Just read through the thread and found something interesting........"a bag of hammers".......

Sounds like a topic worthy of discussion .........
