Version Numbering Policy

Version Numbering Policy for the Human Connectome Project Pipeline Scripts

Starting with the first officially released version of this project, v3.4.0, the version numbering scheme is intended to be as follows: v<major>.<minor>.<bug-fix>.

So:

• Going from version v3.x.x to v4.0.0 would imply some "major" functionality change or addition.
• Going from version v3.4.x to v3.5.0 would imply some "minor" functionality change or addition.
• Going from version v3.4.x to v3.4.x+1 would imply no functionality change other than a bug fix to make v3.4.x what it "should have been".

For example, version v3.4.1 is a bug-fix release that changes no script or tool functionality whatsoever, but instead fixes a "bug" with where the external documentation (installation information, usage notes, FAQ, etc.) is located.

See Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 for further guidelines.
