Semantic versioning

Due to the nature of stylelint as a code quality tool, we follow a specific flavor of semantic versioning.

Any minor update may report more errors than the previous release. As such, we recommend using the tilde (~) in package.json e.g. "stylelint": "~7.2.0" to guarantee the results of your builds.

Patch release

Intended not to break your lint build:

• a bug fix in a rule that results in stylelint reporting fewer errors
• a bug fix to the CLI or core (including formatters)
• improvements to documentation
• non-user-facing changes such as refactoring code or modifying tests
• re-releasing after a failed release (i.e., publishing a release that doesn’t work for anyone)

Minor release

Might break your lint build:

• a bug fix in a rule that results in stylelint reporting more errors
• a new rule is created
• a new option to an existing rule that does not result in stylelint reporting more errors by default
• an existing rule is deprecated
• a new CLI capability is created
• a new public API capability is created
• a new formatter is created

Major release

Likely to break your lint build:

• a change in the documented behavior of an existing rule results in stylelint reporting more errors by default
• an existing rule is removed
• an existing formatter is removed
• part of the CLI is removed or changed in an incompatible way
• part of the public API is removed or changed in an incompatible way
