1. Convention

Convention

XDR adheres to the [Semantic Versioning 2.0] convention. In summary:

• Versions follow the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format (i.e., 2.5.1)
• PATCH increments only when backward compatible bug fixes are introduced.
• MINOR increments only when new, backward compatible functionality is introduced.
• MAJOR increments if any backwards incompatible changes are introduced.
• Pre 1.0 (major version 0) is for initial development and MINOR version bumps can introduce breaking changes.
