We use semver to separate riskier changes (e.g. new features & code refactors) from bugfixes to provide more stable releases for production environments.
Enhancements are made on the master branch and released in the next minor version
(e.g. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3)
Bugfixes and minor usability enhancements are made on bugfix branches and
released as the next maintainance version (e.g. 8.0.1, 8.0.2, 8.0.3). E.G. if the issue is on the 8.0.x milestone, branch off of 8.0.x to
develop your bugfix, then raise the pull request against the 8.0.x branch. We will later merge the 8.0.x branch into master.
Feel free to ask questions on the issue or developers chat if unsure about anything.
We use towncrier for generating the changelog. Changelog entries are added by running
towncrier create <PR-number>.<break|feat|fix>.md --content "Short description"
