## Boring things
### Versioning
This project follows [semantic versioning][] and thus every major version has
the potential for breaking changes. You can find information about what those
are at the following places.
- In the CHANGELOG
[semantic versioning]: https://semver.org/
In addition to the overall semantic version for sbws as a whole, there is a
simple integer version for the format in which results are stored.
Incrementing this integer requires a major version change for sbws. (Note that
the reverse is **not** true: a major sbws version change does not require the
integer version for the result format to change)
**Note**: In semantic versioning, "3.4.1-dev" comes **before** "3.4.1". With
this in mind and assuming the current version is "3.4.1-dev": in the last few
commits leading up to a new release, the version will be updated to
- "3.4.1" if only bug fixes
- "3.5.0" if bug fixes and/or backwards-compatible additions/changes
- "4.0.0" if bug fixes and/or backwards-compatible additions/changes and/or
backwards-**in**compatible additions/changes
Say the version is updated to "3.5.0". The commit **immediately** after the
tagged release should update the version to "3.5.1-dev".
**Note**: Before version 1.0.0, we will make an effort to follow semver with a
prepended "0.". For example, "0.2.3" to "0.3.0" probably had a major breaking
change. However, we don't promise this will be followed well. Only trust the
semantic meaning of version numbers when they have reached 1.0.0. Don't worry,
we'll be 1.0.0 before we expect a full deployment on the real Tor network.
(Oh god please don't make me eat my words).
To the best of my knowledge, everything said in this section except our
conventions regarding version bump commit timing is standard semantic
versioning and spelled out in the [link above][semantic versioning].
### The public API for sbws
As required by semantic versioning, the public API for sbws will not change
