How it works

The selected component increments, lower components reset to zero, and prerelease or build metadata follows the chosen policy. The result is checked against SemVer syntax.

  • Major, minor, and patch carry SemVer compatibility meaning.
  • Resetting lower components keeps release order conventional.

Worked example

v2.3.2

When to use this

Release scripts, conventional-commit CI, and changelog headings bump versions.

Edge cases

  • 2.4.9 minor becomes 2.5.0.
  • A release candidate needs a policy for promotion to stable.
  • Build metadata changes text without changing precedence.
