View source for "trainz-build" number

New releases of Trainz bring new features and improved content validation techniques. This will happen for major product editions (eg. [[TS2010]], [[TS12]] and [[TANE]]) but may also occur during the larger service packs which are released for each product. The [["Trainz-build" number]] is used to differentiate these compatibility versions, and the corresponding [["Trainz-build" tag]] is used in each asset's [[Config.txt file]] to specify the minimum Trainz version required in order to use the asset.

==Obsolete Versions==

The [[Trainz Life-Cycle Policy]] defines which product releases have active support from [[N3V Games]]. While users may continue to use older products, including downloading such older content from the [[Download Station]] and even creating new content for these older versions, it is typically not possible to upload content with an unsupported [["Trainz-build" number]] to the [[Download Station]]. This ensures that older content-creation techniques are slowly phased out over time in favour of the more recent improvements.
