what is the rule of mangos version?

[st_titan]

hello, I am a freshman here. I have no idea about the rule of mangos version? who can show me how to find the right version ?

For Example: MaNGOS switch to support 3.1.3 (9947)

Starting from [7988] MaNGOS support only client version 3.1.3 (9947) at master branch (Client 2.4.3 still limited supported at mangos-0.12 branch)

what's mean of 7988 ? and 9947 ? Is it the same thing?

There are two different versions here:

1. The Mangos version - controlled by the Mangos team, this increases with each update. The last TBC Mangos was 7988, though an off-branch for TBC still exists here.

2. The client version - controlled by Blizzard. Client version 3.1.3 (Wrath of the Lich King) is just a name they give out to players. Internally, this version is referenced by the client revision number - 9947.
