Version Information

This page describes the meaning of the version number in addition to laying out what has changed in each release.

Blinkter follows the Semantic Versioning system described on semver.org. This means that the first element of the version number is the major version. When this number changes, it means that newer versions introduce backwards incompatible changes. The second element indicates that backwards compatible changes have been added to newer versions. Finally, the third number indicates that backwards compatible bug fixes have been introduced in newer versions.

In other words, if you are worried that updating Blinkter will break your code, remember that everything should work the same for you as long as the major version has not changed.
