We use major.minor.patch since 5.0.0-dev. Prior to that we used 0.major.minor.
- Major is incremented when the release contains breaking changes, all other numbers are set to 0.
- Minor is incremented when the release contains new non-breaking features, patch is set to 0.
- Patch is incremented when the release only contains bugfixes and very minor/trivial features considered necessary.
Since 5.0.0-dev and 0.4.17-dev, the dev notation refers to the next release,
i.e.: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
Prior to that we used previous_version-dev.
