We follow semantic versioning. Each version number has 3 parts (for example, 1.2.1) with the components being

• Major: backward compatible breaking changes
• Minor: new functionality, but backward compatible
• Bug Fixes: no new functionality

We expect the API to not be stable until version 0.5.0 so expect compatibility breaking changes until that release.

Report bugs to the GitHub issue tracker. Send patches as pull requests. Patches must support Java 7 and above.
