Versioning

I use Semantic Versioning which has 3 numbers separated by a dot: Major.Minor.Patch.

Major

A major change is an incompatible change that requires major realignment. Examples include:

  • entirely removing an archetype, class, species, or theme

  • moving an archetype from one class to another

  • majorly reworking an archetype, class, species, or theme

Minor

A minor change is a change that should take minimal realignment. Examples include:

  • renaming a theme or splitting a theme to multiple themes

  • removing a theme from a power source

  • adding a new archetype, class, subclass, species, concoction, feat, maneuver, spell, or theme

  • changing an archetype, class, subclass, species, concoction, feat, maneuver, spell, or theme

Patch

A patch change is generally a bug fix. Examples include wording adjustments or correcting a feature that does not work as intended.
