Versioning

OxideBBS uses Semantic Versioning.

• Major releases contain breaking changes after the stable v1.0.0 line.
• Minor releases add backwards-compatible user-visible capabilities.
• Patch releases contain fixes, packaging changes, CI changes, and docs updates that do not change the public contract.

Before the historical v1.0.0 release milestone, breaking changes were allowed, but release notes should still call out changes that affect config files, DecentDB data, ANSI assets, door definitions, or operator workflows.

The full maintainer checklist lives in design/VERSIONING_GUIDE.md.
