I was always wondering why 3 numbers? For those who still don&#8217;t know &#8211; it turns out, there&#8217;s a specification that standardizes this schema and it&#8217;s very popular in the software industry. It&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/semver.org\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/semver.org\">Semantic Versioning 2.0.0<\/a> (or semver in short).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is actually quite simple:<br>1. The first number is a <strong>Major version<\/strong>. It&#8217;s increased when a new release of the software contains any backwards-incompatible changes.<br>2. The second number is a <strong>Minor version<\/strong>. It&#8217;s increased when a new release contains only backwards-compatible changes and bug fixes.<br>3. The third number is a <strong>Patch version<\/strong>. As you can guess, it&#8217;s increased when a new release contains only backwards-compatible bug fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a standardized versioning schema has a few nice advantages. Your users\/customers will know right away if they can install the new software version without problems. They can easily subscribe to only compatible releases (1.*).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a few other possibilities like pre-release versions (1.0.2-beta.1) and build metadata (1.0.2+build.2345). The actual specification is not long, so it&#8217;s worth having a look by yourself, especially considering the fact that some tools like <strong>Helm<\/strong> require the usage of semver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past, many times I have stumbled upon software that was versioned like this: 1.0.1 &#8211; 3 numbers, separated by dots.
