We are using a crooked semantic versioning system and that is entirely due to maintaining the 4 in our versioning scheme. We have been changing and adding major features on updating the second number (20 to be). We have been using the third number for bug fixes and minor enhancements. And we have been using the fourth number for emergency security fixes. So we are not maintaining semantic versioning but going to semantic versioning by repairing our system of versioning. You could say this is a minor bugfix. > > " drop the 4 at version 20 and continue as usual with minor and patch level > updates as we have in the past." > - what's supposed to come next ? in lieu of what would have been 4.21 will it > be 21 ? is it going to be 20.1 then 20.2 ?
