Versioning

We are following v<major>.<minor>.<patch> versioning convention, where:

• <major>+1 means we changed the infrastructure and/or the major components that makes this software run. Will definitely lead to breaking changes.

• <patch>+1 means we fixed a bug and/or added a feature. Breaking changes are not expected.
