Semantic Versioning

Version-label conventions for a declared public compatibility contract.

Identity and normative owner

Record: semver; record authority: Modeling. Normative owner of subject: Semantic Versioning specification maintainers. Resource reference: https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html Registration is for discovery, not adoption, endorsement, or transfer of normative ownership.

Editions

  • 2.0.0: published specification. Named edition for identification, not a claim that it is the newest edition.

Distributions and references

  • semver-documentation — documentation, text/html, en. Rights are assessed per distribution in the record. Unassessed rights do not imply permission to redistribute.

Verification scope

  • metadata-observed (2026-09-17): Primary-source page metadata observed; no distribution bytes, legal clearance, current-latest guarantee, or implementation conformance was verified.

Cautions

  • Do not coerce an external edition system into SemVer. Define the compatibility contract before assigning local semantic versions.
