PoolParty's Semantic Versioning

Abstract

PoolParty's Semantic Versioning

PoolParty Semantic Suite uses semantic versioning and provides major, minor and patch versions. Semantic versioning is a formal convention for specifying compatibility using a three-part version number: major version, minor version, and patch. The patch number is incremented for minor changes and bug fixes that do not change the software application programming interface (API). The minor version is incremented for releases that add new, but backward-compatible API features, and the major version is incremented for API changes which are not backward-compatible. For example, software which relies on version 2.1.5 of an API is compatible with version 2.2.3, but not necessarily with 3.2.4.

PoolParty API Compatibility:

  • Major versions can break the API compatibility.

  • Minor versions can change the API, but always keep backward compatibility.

  • Patch versions do not change the API.
