Kipling Change Log

About Version Numbers

Kipling follows semantic versioning. For a version number like xx.yy.zz, Kipling follows the following version format:

• xx is the major version.

• yy is the minor version.

• zz is the revision version.

(For example, Kipling 3.4.6 means the major version is 3, the minor is 4, and the revision is 6.)

Semantic versioning means:

• Kipling is backwards-compatible as long as the major version does not change.

• If the minor version changes, a new feature has been added.

• If the revision version changes, only bugs have been fixed.
