The RiskScape software is continually being improved as new features are developed. The version numbers on this page indicate the specific snapshot of the RiskScape Engine that you are using.

Note that sometimes ‘RiskScape 2.0’ is used to distinguish this newer, CLI-based project from the original GUI-based RiskScape software.
