What versioning conventions are valid regarding external artifacts?

Updated:2024-11-21 MAIA

Currently is the SemVer system the norm, with some extensions. The Semantic Versioning (SemVer) (external link) system is a numbering system with numbers separated by dots, e.g. 1.0.2

The focus is on final releases. Pre-releases, betas, etc. will normally not be considered when examining the version status.

Examples:

  • Omitting all characters preceding the numbering series e.g. rev_1.2.3 or v1.2.3 will be considered as 1.2.3
  • Approves characters directly following the numbering series e.g. 1.2.3k or 1.2.3ac
  • Rejects all versions with characters following the numbering series, if starting with a hyphen, underscore, point, etc. E.g. 1.2.3-pre1 or 1.2.3.rc1
  • Approves underscore inside the numbering series e.g. 1_2_3 will be considered as 1.2.3

Other variants may be applicable.
