Here is how I think we should do the 4 digit build numbering system
A.B.C.D
A = Major version number, I.e. Each time you do a complete rewrite, increment this number.
B = Breaking Change Number. Each time you release a change that will require your users to change their code, increment this number.
(For Nuget Packages, we increment this package only for the one that's altered manually, If package A causes a change in package B, but B does not cause a change to package C, only A has a breaking change)
C = Production Build Number = Each time you release to prod, increment this number.
(For Nuget Packages, we ignore this number)
D = Dev\QA Build Number Each time you build to go to QA increment this number.
(For Nuget Packages, we only increment this number)
Offical JCDC Description:
Note: Follow these rules to increment the version numbers:
X.x.x.x - We increment the leftmost digit by one when we make major changes to the apps (such as from 2G to 3G)
x.X.x.x - We increment the second-to-the-left digit when we make significant changes to a JCDCHelper project that require code changes to the remaining JCDCHelper projects that depend on this one.
x.x.X.x - We increment the third-to-the-left digit when we make changes to a single JCDCHelper project that don’t require code changes to the other packages (but you still need to update the JCDCHelper projects that depend on this single project)
x.x.x.X - We increment the rightmost digit when we don’t make code changes to a single JCDCHelper project, only need to release that project.
