As mentioned in the previous recipe, packages are immutable. This means that package versions are reserved as soon as you publish them to the feed. You cannot publish the same version of the package again.
Semantic versioning ensures that versions correctly convey the change. The version numbers are in Major.Minor.Patch format and, optionally, can contain additional labels such as 1.0.0-alpha or 1.0.0-beta:
- The MAJOR version is used when you make incompatible API changes
- The MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward-compatible manner
- The PATCH version is used when you make backward-compatible bug fixes
Additional labels for prerelease and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
However, with the NuGet package, proper testing can be done only after it has been packaged and versioned...
