+## Versioning
+
+Version tags for this plugin are of the format:
+
+```
+<major>.<autogenerated>
+```
+
+For example `1.55.v0fcce24a_9501`.
+
+The `<major>` prefix is incremented to indicate **breaking changes** in the plugin. When this happens, **please read the release notes and test the plugin extra carefully before deploying it to production.** To assist users of the Jenkins Update Center we will also add an `hpi.compatibleSinceVersion` annotation to the POM.
+
+The `<autogenerated>` part is created by the Jenkins [automated plugin release](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/publishing/releasing-cd) system. This is incremented on any non-breaking (minor) change, e.g. new features, bug fixes, or dependency updates. It should normally be safe to adopt these changes straight away.
