We’re tightening up how we deliver updates for Netwrix Privilege Secure and Netwrix Privilege Secure for Discovery.
The goal is simple: predictable delivery of new capabilities, clearer versioning, and an easier time planning upgrades.

Here’s what’s changing.
Quarterly Feature Releases
Both products will now ship feature-bearing releases once per quarter. That means four major updates a year - no surprises, no shifting targets.
Hotfix releases will still ship between feature releases, but major functionality updates will align with this quarterly rhythm.
New Versioning Scheme: YY.MM.BUILD
We’re moving to a straightforward version format:
YY.MM.BUILD - Year, Month of Feature Release, Build Number
This gives you immediate clarity on when a release originated and where it sits relative to others.
How It Works
Quarterly Feature Release
- The quarter is represented by the month of the release (03, 06, 09, 12).
- BUILD is always 0 for a quarterly feature release.
Example:
- The Q4 2025 feature release becomes 25.12.0.
Hotfix Releases
Hotfixes increment the BUILD number until the next quarterly release.
Example sequence:
- Initial Q4 2025 feature release: 25.12.0
- First hotfix before the Q1 2026 release: 25.12.1
- Second hotfix: 25.12.2
Next Quarterly Release
Once a new quarter’s feature release ships, we advance the YY.MM portion and reset BUILD to 0.
Example:
- Q1 2026 feature release: 26.03.0
- First hotfix after that: 26.03.1
What This Means for You
- Predictability: You’ll always know when major updates are coming.
- Clarity: Version numbers tell you exactly when a release originated.
- Smoother planning: Easier alignment of testing and change windows.
