semver VS semantic-release

Following the Semantic Versioning rules, you should raise the version number every time you need to publish your library. In your "package.json" file, you need to change the version number to reflect whether the changes are major, minor, or patch updates.

Semantic Versioning: An established convention for version numbers following the pattern MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Increases the major of the latest tag and prints it As per the Semver spec, it'll also clear the pre-release…

The reason for this is that software libraries and package managers, in general, but specifically here, rely on semantic versioning. Semantic versioning is really useful for distributing packages in a predictable way. What does this look like for our project?

I believe neovim follows semantic versioning. https://semver.org/

Semver has been 2.0.0 for 10 years, look at the date of the assets. Multiple releases created today where none existed before. Not sure why someone is creating releases now, perhaps just some housekeeping/cleanup.

All ELRS hardware will talk to all other ELRS hardware, including Radiomaster's ELRS transmitters and receivers. There are one or two exceptions from scummy companies that have been pilloried by the community, and you probably won't find them anymore. So long as the ELRS firmware running on both devices has the same major version number, you're good to go. ie. 3.3.1 will still talk to 3.0.1, but won't talk to 2.0.0. (The "major version" is the 1st number, the "minor version" is the 2nd number, and the "patch version" is the 3rd number. See Semantic Versioning for more info.)

If you're using semver, read the spec it's not overly long or hard to understand.

Semantic versioning actually has a clear rule about this:

I'm trying to improve the security behind our release process, which uses semantic-release. During this process, it creates a change log which is committed to the repo, publishes a package and a few other things.

Conventional commits specification contains a set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, which makes it easier to write automated tools on top of, for example, semantic release. You can manually follow this convention in your project or use a tool to assist you, such as Commitizen.

When working with JavaScript projects, managing version numbers and commit messages is important for the maintainability of the project. Since 2020 I have been the main developer of Atomic Calendar Revive a highly customisable Home Assistant calendar card, I found maintaining versions and releases to be cumbersome until recently. In this article, I will introduce the commitizen and semantic-release packages for creation or appropriate commit messages and semantic versioning. I will also provide examples of how I am currently using these packages to streamline my release workflow and project maintenance.

To further streamline deployments, I introduced semantic-release. This tool automates commit tagging and tracks changes since the previous version. As a result, deployments now occur only when new tags are present, saving us valuable minutes.

If your projects ar made in javascript and related tools, I'd suggest you to check: semantic-release
