While listening to this week's episode of
|
|
`The Changelog <http://thechangelog.com>`_, I came across Tom
|
|
Preston-Werner's
|
|
`Semantic Versioning Specification <http://semver.org/>`_. I love
|
|
what I found. For many years, the open source community has been
|
|
plagued with version number dystonia. Numbers vary so greatly from
|
|
project to project, they are practically meaningless. This
|
|
specification seeks to put an end to this madness with a small set
|
|
of practical guidelines for you and your colleagues to use in your
|
|
next project. Included is a helpful guideline for correlating
|
|
repository tagging. In good taste, Mojombo also opened up the
|
|
website. If you'd like to contribute to the site, just fork the
|
|
repository, make your changes, and send a pull request. The way it
|
|
should be. [`Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org/>`_]
