ColDP adheres to semantic versioning:
- patch changes (1.0.x) do not alter the exchange schema at all. No more fields or entities will be renamed, removed or added. The documentation and enumeration of values are allowed to change.
- minor changes (1.x.0) preserve backwards compatability. Fields or entities can be added, but not renamed or removed.
- major changes (x.0.0) break backwards compatability. Fields or entities can be renamed, removed, added or changed in semantics.
