Version scheme
--------------
We use major.minor.patch since 5.0.0-dev. Prior to that we used 0.major.minor.
Minetest partially follows semver (major.minor.patch).
- 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,
ie: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
Prior to that, we used oldversion-dev.
Semver was adopted after 0.4.X series. Before that we used 0.major.minor scheme.
ie: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
Prior to that we used previous_version-dev.
