What is version?

What Does version Mean

Version , from the Latin versum , is the way each subject has to do something or to refer to the same event . For example: "I'm going to give you a taste of my version of tiramisu: I do it by modifying the traditional recipe" , "The version of events narrated by the defendant differs from that pronounced by the witnesses" , "The mayor assured that he never heard the press version ” .

The concept is also used to name the forms taken by the interpretation of a theme, the text of a work, etc. : “I don't like this artist's version of 'Cambalache'” , “The playwright presented a free version of the classic Greek tragedy” , “The director is working on a new version of the Alfred Hitchcock classic that promises to generate great controversy ” .

Within the world of the seventh art, in addition to the meaning already exposed, it is important to establish that the term version is used very frequently. Thus, for example, when we go to see a movie in any cinema we find that, sometimes, the billboard tells us that a film is in the original version.
What that means is that the feature film has not been dubbed. Thus, if it has been made in the United States it will be in English while if it is a French production it will be in French and that is how it can be seen in the cinema.
However, in these cases another possibility also arises since it can also be indicated that it is being projected in the original version with subtitles. This can indicate two things: that the film that is in the language that has been recorded includes subtitles in it, or that these subtitles are presented as a translation in the language of the country where it is being shown.
In addition to all this, we would have to emphasize that in Spain there is a very important television program related to the cinematographic theme. We are referring to the space "Spanish Version", which is broadcast on La 2.
The actress and journalist Cayetana Guillén Cuervo is the presenter of that one, whose clear objective is to promote the cinema that is made in Spanish and specifically in Spain. For this reason, weekly programming of a film of these characteristics is carried out and, in addition, the director, producer or actors of the same are counted on the set.
The version of a software is a number or name that is assigned to a computer program to mention its level of development and its update . The usual thing is that the versioning is given by two numbers, separated by a period. The first number is the largest (or major , in English), while the second is the smallest ( minor ). The major changes when there are great changes or qualitative leaps in development and the minor varies with the smallest alterations or corrections.
Thus, version 1.3 of a software refers to the first major version of a computer program that already has three minor modifications. It is possible that the next development will be version 1.4 or, if it is a major modification, it will be renamed 2.1 .
