Acronym
Explanation To perform version control in a structured way, it is desirable to use semantic version control to characterize the possible versions. This can be done in as much detail as you like, for example in a tripartite format: release, upgrade, fix:
  • release - A planned version, which can be found well in advance on the change calendar.
  • upgrade - A version that cannot wait for the next scheduled release.
  • fix - A corrective version that could not wait until the next upgrade or release.

Other common classifications are major/minor/patch or major/minor/revision which work completely analogously. For example, a model with four types is major/minor/micro/modifier. Software environments sometimes work with an even more detailed set of five types: major/minor/patch/build/revision or as in Python: epoch/release/pre-release/post-release/development. The more version levels, the more detailed version control can be done, but also, the more effort must be put into it.
