All notable changes to pre-ignition will be documented in this file. Versioning used semanting Semantic Versioning at the beginning of its developpment cycle. This approach has proven to be difficult to follow with a continuous depolyment. Now we are using those rules of thumb to decide on our versionning rules:
- increment the major version (e.g. from 3.2.9 to 4.0.0) when we introduce breaking changes in public API
- increment the minor version (e.g. from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0) when we add important new features
- increment patch version (e.g. from 1.3.211 to 1.3.212) every time we deploy a new release (it can be a mix of bug fix and minor new features)/
We are using this tool to generate part of automated changelog.
