Semantic versioning

Link – Mar 5th 2015

Under this scheme, version numbers and the way they change convey meaning about the underlying code and what has been modified from one version to the next.
...

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,

MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and

PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

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