Automated Release Pipeline​

Our automated pipeline initiates a new release each time changes merge into the main branch, ensuring continuous delivery of improvements.

Versioning System (CalVer: SemVer Compliant Versioning 📅)​

Our versioning follows the CalVer system, aligned with SemVer (Semantic Versioning) principles. In our scheme:

  • Major (SemVer) corresponds to the Year (CalVer)
  • Minor (SemVer) corresponds to the Month (CalVer)
  • Patch (SemVer) corresponds to the Release Number within the month (CalVer)

This approach provides a clear, chronological versioning sequence without leading zeros, making it intuitive and compliant with SemVer standards.

Example:​

  • CalVer Format: YYYY.M.N
  • Example Version: 2024.1.2
    • Major/Year: 2024
    • Minor/Month: 1
    • Patch/Release: 2 (the 2nd release of the month)

This format ensures that each version not only indicates its release time but also its sequence in the overall development process.
