Pre-release Versioning‣ Initial development uses Major version 0 (e.g. 0.1.0) ‣ You may use pre-release strings (e.g. alpha1, rc3, etc.)
• These are appended to the end (e.g. 1.0.0.alpha1) ‣ A publicly-released API starts at 1.0.0
Benefits of Semantic Versioning‣ Clearer compatibility/dependencies ‣ Encourages well-defined APIs ‣ Makes upgrade decisions clearer
