Versioning

Versioning

This page documents how version numbers are used in OpenZFS on OS X builds.

Current Notes

For newer releases, the version tag should match the output of:

sysctl -a | grep kext_version

This is usually the most useful way to confirm exactly which build is currently loaded.

Historical Notes

Older O3X releases used a more complex packaging layout with separate package version numbers for kernel and userland components. That information was mainly useful for installer packaging and is now retained only for historical reference.

Examples from older releases:

Legacy Table

A historical version mapping table existed in the old wiki, but much of it is now outdated and no longer reflects the current repository and release structure.
