Versioning and Tagging

Naming Convention

Starting Point: 1.0.0

major.minor.incremental[-HFx] 

The "-HFx" tag is optional, depending on whether or not a hotfix was added to the release. 
e.g. 1.0.12, 1.0.12-HF2, 1.1.0, 1.1.0-HF1

Versioning 

• If we pull from Master(Release) to Develop (Snapshot), we increment minor and/or major.
  • Maven/Jenkins/artifactory requires branches be tagged either as "-SNAPSHOT" or "-RELEASE".
  • Master is always RELEASE and Develop is always SNAPSHOT.
• If we pull from Dev (Snapshot) to Feature Set (Nightly), we increment incremental.
• If we pull from  Feature Set (Nightly) to Features, we increment incremental.
  • If a feature isn't finished by the end of the current sprint (e.g. Feature 3 in the diagram below), it won't be committed until the next sprint.
• If we pull from Release(Master) to Hotfix, we add the "-HF" tag and increment x.
  • Adding a hotfix does not change the name/version of the release.
    e.g. If we have version 1.1.2 released as 1.1.2-RELEASE and we add a hotfix, the version will become 1.1.2-HF1, but the release will still be 1.1.2-RELEASE.
