This project follows strict semantic versioning with numerical versions only:
- ✅ Valid:
2.0.1,2.0.11,2.1.0,3.0.0 - ❌ Invalid:
2.0.2b,2.0.2a,2.0.1-beta,v2.0.2b
Format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 2.0.11)
- MAJOR: Breaking changes
- MINOR: New features (backward compatible)
- PATCH: Bug fixes (backward compatible)
Why? The auto-update system requires semantic versioning for proper version comparison. Letter suffixes (like 2.0.2b) are not supported and will cause update detection issues.
