Versioning schema
We follow the Semantic Versioning standards.
In a nutshell, given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH we increment the:
MAJORversion when we make incompatible API changes,MINORversion when we add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, andPATCHversion when we make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Distributions releases support
New releases target the current stable distributions release, and development should prepare for future stable distributions releases.
- We recommend installing LibreTime on the current stable distributions.
- We don't provide maintenance releases for old stable distributions.
