Versioning Policy

Data follows Semantic Versioning.

A version number could be 5.10.1, which means:

  • 5 is the Major number
  • 10 is the Minor number
  • 1 is the Patch number

The Major, Minor and Patch numbers follow these guidelines:

  • the MAJOR number increment means that the release includes incompatible API changes that usually require manual intervention to fix
  • the MINOR number increment means that the release includes new features
  • the PATCH number increment means that the release includes bug or security fixes
info

It's highly recommended to look at the Release Notes before updating to a new version, even when the new release is a MINOR or PATCH.

In case of a MAJOR release, the Release Notes will have in-depth documentation on the breaking changes and how to overcome them.
