In between full framework releases, the Discovery Framework provides component-only releases.
Typically, full framework release numbers end in 0, while component-only releases end in a point. For example, 1.3 is a framework release, while 1.3.1 is a component-only release based upon the 1.3 framework.
Upgrading to a component-only release based upon your current version of the Discovery Framework does not require framework migration. You install the component-only release on top of the framework release, without uninstalling. However, you cannot install a component-only release on top of an earlier framework version. For example, you cannot install Discovery Framework 1.4.1 on top of Discovery Framework 1.3—you must migrate to Discovery Framework 1.4 first.
For more information about component-only releases, see the Discovery Framework Installation Guide.
