From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In computing, endianness generally refers to sequencing methods used in a one-dimensional system (such as writing on computer memory). The two main types of endianness are known as big-endian (big units first) and little-endian (little units first). Systems which exhibit aspects of both conventions are often described as middle-endian. When specifically talking about bytes in computing, endianness is also referred to as byte order or byte sex.
It's not every day a release note makes you look up a word.
