General Information

The SICDB dataset uses a versioning system. It contains 3 numbers major, minor and patch. A suffix may be added for changes, the do not necessarily needs to be applied.

A major version change generally occurs when the database was incrementally updated and more cases are included.

A minor version change occurs when data was altered that will likely change most study data. (i.e. removal of a significant amount of invalid cases) A minor update also applies when new data is added (i.e. a new table) but the existing data is not altered.

A patch version change occurs when only specific data was altered and will not affect all exports. Please read changelog to check if your data is affected.
