Semantic Versioning Specification

"Semantic Versioning" or "SemVer" contains a set of rules and requirements that dictate how version numbers are assigned and incremented. You can find the full document in semver.md or visit our official website semver.org to find previous versions and localized specifications.

Changes to the document are published to the website by a GitHub Actions workflow which runs once each day.
