This section is about version identification and numbering.
Software usually comes with a version number. The MatLab version I have used most of the time when developing LOCSMITH is named "7.0.0.19901 (R14)". There are probably only few people who really understand what this means. Does a version "7.0.0.19900 (R14)" exist? I don't know.
LOCSMITH does not use version numbers.
I am continuously working on LOCSMITH routines, fixing bugs, introducing new features or even new routines. From time to time, I freeze a version when I have the impression that the current status is a good one, or when I'm planning major changes which may result in a complete disaster. Then I copy everything into a separate folder and enter a "freeze date" into the title page of the online documentation. Therefore a certain "version" of LOCSMITH is referred to as a "Freeze" with a certain date. Should you have a Documentation which is entitled "version not frozen" in the documentation, then it is some undefined conglomerate which is probably stolen from me.
The following freezes exist:
