If you've been using Node and npm for a while, you are probably aware of [Semantic Versioning], or SemVer for short. It's a convention for specifying version numbers for software that helps communicate intentions to the users of your software.
## Overview of Semantic Versioning
Semantic versions are always made up of (at least) three numbers:
```
major.minor.patch
```
Semantic version numbers are bumped (incremented) using the following rules:
* **Major** is for changes that break backwards compatibility.
* **Minor** is for new features that don't break backwards compatibility.
* **Patch** is for bug fixes and other minor changes.
A simple mnemonic for remembering this scheme is as follows:
```
breaking.feature.fix
```
Unstable versions may also have a _pre-release identifier_. See
[Prereleases](#prereleases).
## Electron Versioning
Due to its dependency on Node and Chromium, it is not possible for the Electron
project to adhere to a strict SemVer policy. **You should therefore always
reference a specific version of Electron.**
