Versioning system

Intake24 uses a hybrid versioning system based on Calendar Versioning (CalVer) and Semantic Versioning (semver).

Version numbers generally follow the Semantic Versioning principles with the following exceptions:

• Major version is the year of the release in YYYY format
• Minor version starts at 1 instead of 0

Format

Version numbers follow the format

YYYY.MINOR.PATCH

where

YYYY is the year of the release using the four-digit format,

MINOR is the sequential number of a feature release in the corresponding year. "Feature release" means a major release adding new features or functionality or significant changes to existing features.

PATCH is the sequential number of a bug fix release. "Bug fix release" means a release focused on fixing issues with existing features without adding new functionality.

Year increments

Bug fix releases are always associated with a specific feature release (i.e., YYYY.MINOR) and the year should never be incremented when releasing bug fix versions, even if a bug fix release occurs in a later year.

Examples

2022.1.0 — first feature release of 2022,

2022.2.3 — third bug fix for the second feature release of 2022,

2022.4.1 — a bug fix release for the final, fourth feature release of 2022 that could be released in 2023.

Pre-release versions

Pre-release versions follow the Semantic Versioning system:

A pre-release version MAY be denoted by appending a hyphen and a series of dot separated identifiers immediately following
the patch version.

Examples

2022.1.0-beta — initial beta release of the first feature release in 2022,

2022.1.0-beta.4 — fourth update of the 2022.1.0 beta.
