Version numbering follows both the approach and the rules presented in the Semantic Versioning specifications (SemVer).

Note that the “marketing” format of version numbers can be different from the one defined by SemVer. The following is the rule of thumb:

  • SemVer must be used on “code representation” of versions, like branches and tag names, file names or any other place made for machine reading.

  • Marketing version numbers can be used on websites, blogs, social, packaging and any material destined to people to read.

For example, SemVer versions 5.0.0 and 5.1.0-beta.1 could have their marketing names relatively “5” and “5.1 Beta 1”.
