Galaxy uses Semantic Versioning conventions. In short, given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, when we increment the:
- MAJOR version, we made incompatible API changes,
- MINOR version, we added functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
- PATCH version, we made backwards-compatible bug fixes.
We might add additional labels for pre-release and build metadata as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
