SemVer explained in very simple terms.
Semantic versioning is a standardized way to communicate software upgrades.
It categorizes changes into three buckets:
🔴 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿: Contains breaking changes that require users to upgrade their code or integration.
🟢 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗿: Changes are backward-compatible. Typically extends functionality or improves performance.
🟣 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵: Contains bug fixes that don’t change existing functionality.
𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗶𝗽: 𝗔 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗩𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 “𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.𝗙𝗶𝘅”.
SemVer provides an easy and clear way to communicate changes in software, which helps manage dependencies, plan releases, and troubleshoot problems.
