Rationalized CF release versioning
Beginning with HCL Digital Experience CF196, single versioning is used for both container and on-premise Combined Cumulative Fixes (CFs). This means that fixes for both deployments are included into one CF deliverable. And although the versioning is the same, CFs are packaged separately for on-premises and container deployments.
