About Semantic Versioning

Semantic Versioning (SemVer) is a versioning scheme that uses a three-part version number: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

  • MAJOR: Incompatible API changes
  • MINOR: Backwards-compatible new functionality
  • PATCH: Backwards-compatible bug fixes

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
