Release Policy

Applicable from colorls v1.0.0 onwards

Versioning

Colorls follows semantic versioning whereby the version number is always in the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

• Patch bump : Bug fixes
• Minor bump : New features (with backwards compatibility)
• 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/.

Release Timing

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.
