Some RegistryObjects, specifically those derived
from RegistryEntry, include version information,
access to which is possible using the methods of the
Versionable interface. The major and minor version
numbers, which can be read and set using the
getMajorVersion( ), getMinorVersion(
), setMajorVersion( ), and
setMinorVersion( ) methods, are intended to be
maintained by the registry and may be modified by the registry as
changes are made to the object. By contrast, there is also a user
version number, which is intended to be a number that might be quoted
to a registry user. This value is manipulated using the
getUserVersion( ) and setUserVersion(
) methods and is not modified by the registry itself.
Versioning is a level 1 registry
feature.
