Versioning a SharePoint feature

Question

Is there a best practice for versioning SharePoint features?

Our SharePoint product gets a release every 3-6 months, and we need a way of clearly differentiating between the new version and the old version. We also need to support simultaneous installations of the new and old feature so that clients may test the new stuff before deploying it.

Answer 1

Versioning Features is not supported in Sharepoint 2007. In Sharepoint 2010 you can Version Features like you normally would version assemblies.
