Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 | Semantic Versioning

In a nut shell

Semantic Versioning is a simple set of rules and requirements that dictate how version numbers are assigned and incremented
⇒ Easy to understand what has been modified from the way they change one version to the next 🙌

  1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
  2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner
  3. PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes

Some points from the spec(I picked very few 🙇🏻‍♂️)

  • No leading zero
    • Good: 1.0.0
    • Bad: 01.0.0
  • Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development
  • When the major version is incremented, the patch and minor will be reset to 0
  • When the minor version is incremented, the patch will be reset to 0
