Hi
Following a discussion on software versioning best practices and their consequences,  I thought it would be helpful for others to share this link.

[...]
Semantic Versioning (SemVer) is a versioning system for software that uses three numbers (major.minor.patch) to convey meaning about changes:
  • Major version: Increased for incompatible changes.
  • Minor version: Added for new features in a backward-compatible way.
  • Patch version: Incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes.

This helps users and developers understand the impact of changes and ensures compatibility information. Pre-release and build metadata can be included for additional context.
[...]

I am aware that experienced programmers are well versed in this, but there is a lot of free style out there. I think it's always good to remember some of the basic principles.  :thumbsup:
