The Rabbit Hole

37. Semantic Versioning

Today we are going to be talking about semantic versioning. When you should do it, when you shouldn’t do it, and what the heck it is? Joining us on this episode is special guest, Kevin Thomas. Kevin is a Software Consultant at Stride Consulting. Semantic Versioning is a more rigorous system where the first number is the big breaking changes, ideally. The second version is when you add new features, and the third one is like small patches, and sometimes there’s a fourth one just for security fixes.
