Every software company uses code names for their products before they are released. It is a very long tradition in the technology field. For many years, I have been meaning to compile a list of the Citrix server code names but the main problem was that it was easy to forget the names versus the numbers. Recently I found an old web page that summarizes the releases and code names.
Real name | Code name | Date |
---|---|---|
XenApp 6.5 | Iron Cove | August 2011 |
XenApp 6.0 | Parra | April 2010 |
XenApp 5.0 | Delaware | August 2008 |
Presentation Server 4.5 | Ohio | February 2007 |
Presentation Server 4.0 | Colorado | April 2005 |
Presentation Server 3.0 | Hudson | February 2004 |
MetaFrame XP Feature Release 3 | Amazon | February 2003 |
MetaFrame XP Feature Release 2 | Ganges | May 2002 |
MetaFrame XP Feature Release 1 | Nile | October 2001 |
The early theme was rivers. Later the names would change based on the release intent.
The earliest code name I still remember is “South Beach” which was used for the first WinFrame 1.5 release in 1995.
I remember going down to South Beach with Marc Bloomfield early on a Saturday morning to take pictures for the CD jacket.
Good to see you. The history of these kind of things seems to be slowly forgotten.
Thanks Jeff, for those of us who lived through all this, it is great to have it all remembered and documented in one place
