+# Versioning
+Pico uses Semantic Versioning. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
+
+- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
+- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
+- PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
+
+For more information see the [http://semver.org](http://semver.org) website.
