1. PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes
1. PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes or other changes

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions
to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

important that this API be clear and precise. Once you identify your public
