Major vs minor vs patch release

If the current package version is 0.8.1.9000

• Increment patch, e.g. 0.8.2 for a patch release:
  • You’ve fixed bugs
  • You haven’t added any significant new features
  • There are no breaking changes
• Increment minor, e.g. 0.9.0, for a minor release:
  • Include bug fixes
  • New features
  • Backward compatible changes
• Increment major, e.g. 1.0.0, for a major release:
  • Add braking changes
  • From a marketing perspective, save important new features for a major release.
  • 1.0.0 indicates that your package is feature complete with a stable API.

Minor and major release should share the good news in blog posts.
