Versioning
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Since version 3.0.0, VIXL uses [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0][semver].
|
|
|
|
Briefly:
|
|
|
|
- Backwards-incompatible changes update the _major_ version.
|
|
- New features update the _minor_ version.
|
|
- Bug fixes update the _patch_ version.
|
|
|
|
Why 3.0.0?
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
VIXL was originally released as 1.x using snapshot releases. When we moved VIXL
|
|
into Linaro, we started working directly on `master` and stopped tagging
|
|
named releases. However, we informally called this "VIXL 2", so we are skipping
|
|
2.0.0 to avoid potential confusion.
|
|
|
|
Using `master`
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Users who want to take the latest development version of VIXL can still take
|
|
commits from `master`. Our day-to-day development process hasn't changed and
|
|
these commits should still pass their own tests. However, note that commits not
|
|
explicitly tagged with a given version should be considered to be unversioned,
|
|
with no backwards-compatibility guarantees.
