Versioning

We utilize a hybrid versioning scheme, blending Semantic Versioning with CalVer:

YYYY-MM-[RELEASE_TYPE]-N

Components of the version number are as follows:

• YYYY, MM: Year and month of release.
• RELEASE_TYPE: Specifies the development stage:
  • alpha: Initial testing phase.
  • beta: Near-complete features, further testing.
  • rc (release candidate): Stability testing, bug fixes.
  • final: Production-ready release.
• N: Incremental release number for multiple releases within one month.

Guidelines:

• Automated scripts should generate version numbers to avoid errors.
• Ensure tool compatibility with the hybrid version format.
• Maintain detailed changelogs for transparency on progression from alpha to final.
