Releases come in three categories, which impact their naming convention. You don’t necessarily need to know the difference between these unless you are a developer.

- Minor: you’re adding functionality, but it does not include any breaking changes
- Patch: you’re fixing a bug
See https://semver.org/ for the technical details for release naming.
