Switch to the next unevolved pokémon when you make incompatible API changes,\n    and\n1. Evolve the pokémon when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible\n   manner.\n\nAdditional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions\nto the Pokémon format.\n\nIntroduction\n------------\n\nIn the world of software management there exists a dreaded place called\n\"dependency hell.\" The bigger your system grows and the more packages you\nintegrate into your software, the more likely you are to find yourself, one\nday, in this pit of despair.\n\nIn systems with many dependencies, releasing new package versions can quickly\nbecome a nightmare. If the dependency specifications are too tight, you are in\ndanger of version lock (the inability to upgrade a package without having to\nrelease new versions of every dependent package). If dependencies are\nspecified too loosely, you will inevitably be bitten by version promiscuity\n(assuming compatibility with more future versions than is reasonable).\nDependency hell is where you are when version lock and/or version promiscuity\nprevent you from easily and safely moving your project forward.\n\nAs a solution to this problem, I propose a simple set of rules and\nrequirements that dictate how version pokémon are assigned and incremented.\nThese rules are based on but not necessarily limited to pre-existing\nwidespread common practices in use in both closed and open-source software.\nFor this system to work, you first need to declare a public API. This may\nconsist of documentation or be enforced by the code itself. Regardless, it is\nimportant that this API be clear and precise. Once you identify your public\nAPI, you communicate changes to it with specific increments to your version\nnumber.  Backwards compatible API additions/changes evolve the pokémon, and\nbackwards incompatible API switch to the next unevolved pokémon.\n\nI call this system \"Pokémon Versioning.\" Under this scheme, version pokémon\nand the way they change convey meaning about the underlying code and what has\nbeen modified from one version to the next.\n\n\nPokémon Versioning Specification (PokeVer)\n------------------------------------------\n\nThe key words \"MUST\", \"MUST NOT\", \"REQUIRED\", \"SHALL\", \"SHALL NOT\", \"SHOULD\",\n\"SHOULD NOT\", \"RECOMMENDED\", \"MAY\", and \"OPTIONAL\" in this document are to be\ninterpreted as described in [RFC 2119](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119).\n\n1. Software using Pokémon Versioning MUST declare a public API. This API\ncould be declared in the code itself or exist strictly in documentation.\nHowever it is done, it SHOULD be precise and comprehensive.\n\n1. A normal version pokémon MUST take the form of a Pokémon name listed in the Pokedex.\nEach pokémon MUST increase numerically. For instance: Bulbasaur -\u003e Ivysaur -\u003e Venusaur.\n\n1. Once a versioned package has been released, the contents of that version\nMUST NOT be modified. Any modifications MUST be released as a new version.\n\n1. Pokémon who can level up to learn Self-Destruct are for initial development.\nAnything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.\n\n1. Bulbasaur first defines the public API. The way in which the version pokémon\nis incremented after this release is dependent on this public API and how it\nchanges.\n\n1. Evolutions MUST occur if new, backwards\ncompatible functionality is introduced to the public API. It MUST be\nevolved if any public API functionality is marked as deprecated. It MAY be\nevolved if substantial new functionality or improvements are introduced\nwithin the private code.\n\n1. Pokémon MUST be switched to the new unevolved pokémon if any backwards\nincompatible changes are introduced to the public API. It MAY also include evolution\nlevel changes. Evolution MUST be reset when switching to an unevolved version.\n\n1. A pre-release version MAY be denoted by appending a hyphen and a\nseries of dot separated identifiers immediately following the\nversion. Identifiers MUST comprise only ASCII alphanumerics and hyphen\n[0-9A-Za-z-]. Identifiers MUST NOT be empty. Numeric identifiers MUST\nNOT include leading zeroes. Pre-release versions have a lower\nprecedence than the associated normal version. A pre-release version\nindicates that the version is unstable and might not satisfy the\nintended compatibility requirements as denoted by its associated\nnormal version. Examples: Bublesaur-alpha, Bublesaur-alpha.1, Bublesaur-Diglet,\nBublesaur-Diglet.92.\n\n1. Build metadata MAY be denoted by appending a plus sign and a series of dot\nseparated identifiers immediately following the pokémon or pre-release version.\nIdentifiers MUST comprise only ASCII alphanumerics and hyphen [0-9A-Za-z-].\nIdentifiers MUST NOT be empty. Build metadata MUST be ignored when determining\nversion precedence. Thus two versions that differ only in the build metadata,\nhave the same precedence. Examples: Bublesaur-alpha+001, Bublesaur+20130313144700,\nBublesaur-beta+exp.sha.5114f85.\n\n1. Precedence refers to how versions are compared to each other when ordered.\nPrecedence MUST be calculated by separating the version into pokémon\nand pre-release identifiers in that order (Build metadata does not figure\ninto precedence). Precedence is determined by the first difference when\ncomparing each of these identifiers from left to right as follows: unevolved and evolved versions are always compared according to their Pokedex numbers. Example: Bulbasaur \u003c Charmander \u003c\nCharmeleon \u003c Charizard. When pokémon are equal, a pre-release version has\nlower precedence than a normal version. Example: Bulbasaur-alpha \u003c Bulbasaur. Precedence\nfor two pre-release versions with the same pokémon version MUST\nbe determined by comparing each dot separated identifier from left to right\nuntil a difference is found as follows: identifiers consisting of only digits\nare compared numerically and identifiers with letters or hyphens are compared\nlexically in ASCII sort order. Numeric identifiers always have lower precedence\nthan non-numeric identifiers. A larger set of pre-release fields has a higher\nprecedence than a smaller set, if all of the preceding identifiers are equal.\nExample: Bulbasaur-alpha \u003c Bulbasaur-alpha.1 \u003c Bulbasaur-alpha.beta \u003c Bulbasaur-beta \u003c\nBulbasaur-beta.2 \u003c Bulbasaur-beta.11 \u003c Bulbasaur-rc.1 \u003c Bulbasaur.\n\nBackus–Naur Form Grammar for Valid PokeVer

In fact, you probably do something\nclose to this already. The problem is that \"close\" isn't good enough. Without\ncompliance to some sort of formal specification, version pokémon are\nessentially useless for dependency management. By giving a name and clear\ndefinition to the above ideas, it becomes easy to communicate your intentions\nto the users of your software. Once these intentions are clear, flexible (but\nnot too flexible) dependency specifications can finally be made.\n\nA simple example will demonstrate how Pokémon Versioning can make dependency\nhell a thing of the past. Consider a library called \"Firetruck.\" It requires a\nPokémonally Versioned package named \"Ladder.\" At the time that Firetruck is\ncreated, Ladder is at version Charmeleon. Since Firetruck uses some functionality\nthat was first introduced in Charmeleon, you can safely specify the Ladder\ndependency as greater than or equal to Charmeleon but less than Squirtle. Now, when\nLadder version Charizard becomes available, you can release them to your\npackage management system and know that they will be compatible with existing\ndependent software.\n\nAs a responsible developer you will, of course, want to verify that any\npackage upgrades function as advertised. The real world is a messy place;\nthere's nothing we can do about that but be vigilant. What you can do is let\nPokémon Versioning provide you with a sane way to release and upgrade\npackages without having to roll new versions of dependent packages, saving you\ntime and hassle.\n\nIf all of this sounds desirable, all you need to do to start using Pokémon\nVersioning is to declare that you are doing so and then follow the rules. Link\nto this website from your README so others know the rules and can benefit from\nthem.\n\n\nFAQ\n---\n\n### How should I deal with revisions in the Self-Destruct initial development phase?\n\nThe simplest thing to do is start your initial development release at Geodude\nand then evolve for each subsequent release.\n\n### How do I know when to release Bulbasaur?\n\nIf your software is being used in production, it should probably already be\nBulbasaur. If you have a stable API on which users have come to depend, you should\nbe Bulbasaur. If you're worrying a lot about backwards compatibility, you should\nprobably already be Bulbasaur.\n\n### Doesn't this discourage rapid development and fast iteration?\n\nunevolved version zero is all about rapid development. If you're changing the API\nevery day you should either still be in explosive versions or on a separate\ndevelopment branch working on the next unevolved version.\n\n### If even the tiniest backwards incompatible changes to the public API require a unevolved version bump, won't I end up at version MewTwo very rapidly?\n\nThis is a question of responsible development and foresight. Incompatible\nchanges should not be introduced lightly to software that has a lot of\ndependent code. The cost that must be incurred to upgrade can be significant.\nHaving to bump unevolved versions to release incompatible changes means you'll\nthink through the impact of your changes, and evaluate the cost/benefit ratio\ninvolved.\n\n### Documenting the entire public API is too much work!\n\nIt is your responsibility as a professional developer to properly document\nsoftware that is intended for use by others. Managing software complexity is a\nhugely important part of keeping a project efficient, and that's hard to do if\nnobody knows how to use your software, or what methods are safe to call. In\nthe long run, Pokémon Versioning, and the insistence on a well defined public\nAPI can keep everyone and everything running smoothly.\n\n### What do I do if I accidentally release a backwards incompatible change as a evolved version?\n\nAs soon as you realize that you've broken the Pokémon Versioning spec, fix\nthe problem and release a new evolved version that corrects the problem and\nrestores backwards compatibility. Even under this circumstance, it is\nunacceptable to modify versioned releases. If it's appropriate,\ndocument the offending version and inform your users of the problem so that\nthey are aware of the offending version.\n\n### What should I do if I update my own dependencies without changing the public API?\n\nThat would be considered compatible since it does not affect the public API.\nSoftware that explicitly depends on the same dependencies as your package\nshould have their own dependency specifications and the author will notice any\nconflicts. Determining whether the change is a evolved or unevolved level\nmodification depends on whether you updated your dependencies in order to fix\na bug or introduce new functionality. I would usually expect additional code\nfor the latter instance, in which case it's obviously an evolve level increment.\n\n### What if I inadvertently alter the public API in a way that is not compliant with the version pokémon change (i.e. the code incorrectly introduces a unevolved breaking change in an evolved release)\n\nUse your best judgment. If you have a huge audience that will be drastically\nimpacted by changing the behavior back to what the public API intended, then\nit may be best to perform a unevolved version release. Remember, Pokémon Versioning is all\nabout conveying meaning by how the version pokémon changes. If these changes\nare important to your users, use the version pokémon to inform them.\n\n### How should I handle deprecating functionality?\n\nDeprecating existing functionality is a normal part of software development and\nis often required to make forward progress. When you deprecate part of your\npublic API, you should do two things: (1) update your documentation to let\nusers know about the change, (2) issue a new evolved release with the deprecation\nin place. Before you completely remove the functionality in a new unevolved release\nthere should be at least one evolved release that contains the deprecation so\nthat users can smoothly transition to the new API.\n\n### Does PokeVer have a size limit on the version string?\n\nNo, but use good judgment. A 255 character version string is probably overkill,\nfor example. Also, specific systems may impose their own limits on the size of\nthe string.\n\n### Is \"v1.2.3\" a Pokémon version?\n\nNo, \"v1.2.3\" is not a Pokémon version. Prefixing a Pokémon version\nwith a \"v\" is a common way (in English) to indicate it is a version pokémon.\nAbbreviating \"version\" as \"v\" is often seen with version control. Example:\n`git tag vBulbasaur -m \"Release version Bulbasaur\"`, in which case \"vBulbasaur\" is a tag\nname and the Pokémon version is \"Bulbasaur\".\n\n### What do I do if I run out of evolutions for a pokémon?\n\nProfessional software developers do not often break things frequently enough\nfor this to be a common occurrence. However if it does become necessary, you\nmay use the \"Shiny\" prefix, cycling back to the most recent unevolved pokémon.\nFor example, Venusaur can be replaced with Shiny Bulbasaur if necessary.\nAs a last resort, move on to the next unevolved pokémon as you normally would\n for a breaking change.\n\nAbout\n-----\n\nThe Pokémon Versioning specification is authored by [Chris Andrejewski](http://chrisandrejewski.com/), inventor of versioning spec trolling and\ncofounder of [@compooter on Twitter](https://twitter.com/compooter).\n\nIf you'd like to leave feedback, please [open an issue on\nGitHub](https://github.com/andrejewski/pokever/issues).\n\n\nLicense\n-------\n\nCreative Commons - CC BY 3.0\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fandrejewski%2Fpokever","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fandrejewski%2Fpokever","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fandrejewski%2Fpokever/lists"}
