A commonly adopted scheme for version numbers is known as semantic versioning (SemVer), which comprises a three-part version number (Major.
Software versioning is the process of assigning unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software.
Some companies also rely on the build date, in a system known as calendar versioning, and letters and other characters, such as Lotus 1-2-3 Release 1a.
Simple implementation of Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 on the 'vctrs' package.
This package provides a simple way to create, compare, and manipulate semantic versions in R.
Semantic versioning is a simple set of rules and requirements that dictate how version numbers are assigned and incremented as outlined at .
Tools and functions for parsing, rendering and operating on semantic version strings.
The semantic versioning (semver) policy is commonly accepted by open source package management systems to inform whether new releases of software packages introduce possibly backward incompatible changes.
NPM relies on a "semantic versioning" (‘semver’) scheme to maintain a healthy ecosystem, where bug-fixes are reliably delivered to downstream packages as quickly as possible, while breaking changes require manual intervention by downstream package maintainers.
In order to understand how developers use semver, we build a dataset containing every version of every package on NPM and analyze the flow of updates throughout the ecosystem.
We find that when developers use semver correctly, critical updates such as security patches can flow quite rapidly to downstream dependencies in the majority of cases (90.09%), but this does not always occur, due to developers’ imperfect use of both semver version constraints and semver version number increments.

Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 is the subject of this page. Three sealed claims carry what an agent can rely on here. First: "A commonly adopted scheme for version numbers is known as semantic versioning (SemVer), which comprises a three-part version number (Major." Second: "Software versioning is the process of assigning unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software." Third: "The semantic versioning (semver) policy is commonly accepted by open source package management systems to inform whether new releases of software packages introduce possibly backward incompatible changes." Those three quotations are the support for this note. They do not state anything beyond the words inside the quotation marks.
