Versioning scheme and migration

Versioning scheme

AtmoSwing follows a versioning structure with version numbers as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The rules are the following:

  1. MAJOR version: significant changes in the overall structure or addition of a new tool,

  2. MINOR version: addition of functionality that might be backward-incompatible,

  3. PATCH version: backward-compatible bug fixes and small improvements.

Support Policy

When a new version is published, the development of previous versions is not continued, except for LTS (Long Term Support) releases, where bug fixes are provided for a longer period.
