IBM has shipped several versions and editions of WebSphere Application Server.
In the first beta versions, WebSphere had been called Servlet Express.
Although the versioning scheme x.1 and x.5 would usually indicate a minor release in the software industry, WebSphere v6.1 and v5.1 are major releases, just like WebSphere v8.5 and v3.5.
