pragver v0.1.0

Summary

This specification describes a set of rules and requirements that dictate how each version identifier must be bumped and and assigned to releases, in a way that communicates the kind of modifications that were done to a versioned artifact.

A minimal version identifier takes the form GRADE.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and is bumped by incrementing:

• The Grade Number, when any disruptive modifications are released.
• The Major Number, when any backwards-incompatible modifications are released.
• The Minor Number, when any backwards-compatible alterations are released.
• The Patch Number, when only backwards-compatible corrections are released.

Optional Metadata containing additional information associated to the release or the build take the respective forms -RELEASE.METADATA and +BUILD.METADATA and can be appended to a minimal version identifier.
