Today I want to write about semantic versioning or Semver. Not only because it's fun - which it totally is - but also because I actually ran into problems with it at work. Basically semantic versioning is a standard which defines how version strings of software should look like. This becomes especially important if you plan to upload your software to some kind of repository, but it can also be handy for things like automated deployment or the likes. Also using semantic versioning allows people to get some extra information about the program they are about to install just from looking at the version string.
