Use the semantic versioning (https://semver.org) to replace the current date versioning system, which is more general and is requested by some developers, e.g. issue #1357. There are three parts in the new version string: - major. Any incompatible modification on ABIs and APIs will lead to an increment in the value of major, which mainly includes: AOT calling conventions, AOT file format, wasm_export.h, wasm_c_api.h, and so on. - minor. It represents new features, including MVP/POST-MVP features, libraries, WAMR private ones, and so one. - patch. It represents patches. The new version will start from 1.0.0. Update the help info and version showing for iwasm and wamrc.

# WAMR uses semantic versioning
|
|
|
|
WAMR uses the _semantic versioning_ to replace the current _date versioning_ system.
|
|
|
|
There are three parts in the new version string:
|
|
|
|
- _major_. Any incompatible modification, on both ABI and APIs, will lead an increment
|
|
in the value of _major_. APIs includes: `wasm_export.h`, `wasm_c_api.h`,
|
|
_sections in AOT files_, and so on.
|
|
- _minor_. It represents new features. It includes not just MVP or POST-MVP features
|
|
but also WASI features and WAMR private ones.
|
|
- _patch_. It represents patches.
|
|
|
|
## Legacy versions
|
|
|
|
All legacy versions(tags) will keep their current status. No existed releasings names
|
|
and links will be changed.
|
