I guess the question I am trying to ask is if 11.5.1 is a MAJOR roll-up to 11.5.0 or is it a different code?

 

i understand it is different code.

 

Per Jie's link, it is not different code, but a different maintenance release. The 1 on the end is significant here.

 

11(Major Release).5 (Minor Release).1(Maintenance)

 

Maintenance release

 

A maintenance release typically addresses bug and security fixes. It will roll-up all previous hotfixes. No change in behavior or new functionality is introduced. A maintenance release may support new hardware.
