Overview
Semantic versioning means attaching meaning to a version label. The version label is used to communicate how the piece of software it is attached to changed in relation to other versions of the same piece of software. The essential components of a semantic versioning-compliant version label are:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>[-pre-release-label][+build-metadata]
Concepts
