Our latest (and first!) public release starts the Fermitools at version `Fermitools-1.0.0`. The FSSC would like create a formal definition of how we iterate this version number. Right now, we use the current convention of:
v.r.p->version.revision.patch->Major Update.Minor Update.PatchBut we were unable to find any sort of documentation that defines what constitutes a Major Update, a Minor Update, or a patch. I propose the following:
Major Update: Iteration implies large functionality changes, new tools introduced, api changes, or other major change
Minor Update: Iteration implies new data files/models, updates to specific individual tools, technical changes that obviously change the user interface (to a smaller extent than a major change, etc.)
Patch: Iteration implies bug fixes/patches to technical problems brought to the attention of the developers
