The version numbers follow the Semantic Versioning scheme.

In addition to MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH the following postfixes are used to indicate the development state.

• BUILD-SNAPSHOT - A release currently in development.
• M - A milestone release include specific sets of functions and are released as soon as the functionality is complete.
• RC - A release candidate is a version with potential to be a final product, considered code complete.
• RELEASE - General availability indicates that this release is the best available version and is recommended for all usage.

The versioning layout is {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-{INDICATOR}[.{PATCH}]. Only milestones and release candidates can have patch versions. Some examples:

1.2.3.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
1.3.5.M.1
1.5.7.RC.2
2.0.0.RELEASE
