6.1. SIMP Version Guide¶
The SIMP versioning system has caused some confusion over time and this document serves as the authoritative reference for clarification.
6.1.1. Top-Level SIMP for 6.X+¶
Note
This is the version number that you get when you run rpm -q simp
The top level SIMP version for SIMP releases from 6.0.0 onward will be following Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.
In short, this means (from the reference):
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
, increment the:
MAJOR
version when you make incompatible API changesMINOR
version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible mannerPATCH
version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes
6.1.2. Sub-Component Versioning¶
For all versions of SIMP, sub-components generally follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.
