Releases will be numbered in the following format:

  `<major>.<minor>.<patch>`

Release will be constructed based on the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bump the minor (and reset the patch)
• Bug fixes and small enhancement. changes bump the patch
