Applicable to Daru > 0.1.6
Daru follows semantic versioning whereby the version number is always in the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
- Patch bump = Bug fixes
- Minor bump = New features but backwards compatible
- Major bump = API breaking changes
For Major and Minor bumps release candidates should be released around 2 weeks prior to the bump and are indicated by MAJOR.MINOR.0.rc.
For more information see the full semantic versioning specification at http://semver.org/.
Patch releases should be done after every fix of a major bug (as tagged in the github issue tracker). Major releases should be kept to the minimum.
