Versioning

Lineage

Active lineage: v0.18.x (latest tag: v0.18.10).

Future bumps continue plain semver from v0.18.10:

  • patch: v0.18.11, v0.18.12, ...
  • minor: v0.19.0, v0.20.0, ...
  • major: v1.0.0 (when interface-breaking)

No pre-release suffixes (-rc1, -beta, -pre), no build metadata (+sha.abc123), no prefixes beyond the leading v. Plain vX.Y.Z.

Historical / outlier tags

v1.99.18 is preserved as immutable git history but is not the line of active development. It was an experimental fork-style tag (the 1.99.x series was an out-of-band scheme that did not follow the active semver lineage).

Consumers and downstream go modules should pin v0.18.x. Do not derive future versions from v1.99.x.

Rules

  1. One lineage. v0.18.x is canonical.
  2. Plain semver. vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH only.
  3. Patch bumps are additive (+1). Never skip ahead to a new major to sidestep work.
  4. Tags are immutable. Outliers stay in history; we do not retag, retroactively delete, or rewrite them.
