### Versioning
While the version scheme has a meaningful calendar component (`minor=yymmdd`), it is still compatible with semantic versioning.
For instance, the version `0.230215.1` means `major=0`, `minor=230215`, `micro/patch=1`. Notes:
 * While `major=0`, some compatibility-breaking changes may occur.
 * From `major=1` onwards, compatibility-breaking changes increment it, and update the minor version to reflect the release date.
 * New (non breaking) features update only the minor version to reflect the release date.
 * Bug fixes (including compatibility-breaking ones) increment only the micro version.
