Versioning

The Intel® Clear Containers project follows the semantic versioning and will have a release each Friday.

Versions are in the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, examples are: 3.0.0, 3.0.0-rc.5, or 99.123.77+foo.bar.baz.5.

  • When PATCH increases, the new release contains important security fixes and an upgrade is recommended.
  • When MINOR increases, the new release added new features without changing the existing behavior.
  • When MAJOR increases, the new release added new features, bug fixes, or both which change the behavior from the previous release.

PATCH can contain extra details after the number. Dashes denote pre-release versions. 3.0.0-rc.5 in the example denotes the fifth release candidate for release 3.0.0. Plus signs denote other details. In our example, +foo.bar.baz.5 is additional information regarding release 99.123.77.

MAJOR releases will likely require a change of the container manager version used, for example Docker*. Please refer to the release notes for further details on this regard.

Release checklist

To always have a stable and fully functional version of Intel® Clear Containers working on all supported distributions, a new issue to handle tracking the new release will be filed. The issue description must contain the Release checklist and it must be fixed and closed before releasing a new version.
