====================
Semantic Versioning
====================

The `mqtt-codec` package is versioned according to `Semantic Versioning
<https://semver.org>`_ 2.0.0 guidelines.  A summary of SemVer is
included here for your convenience:

    Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

    1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
    2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a
       backwards-compatible manner, and
    3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

    Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available
    as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
