+Versioning for this project is based on [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). More specifically:
+
+**Pre 1.0.0 (current)**:
+
+- Patch versions should aim to only contain bug fixes or non-breaking features/changes.
+- Minor versions may break things.
+
+**Post 1.0.0**:
+
+- Patch versions should only contain bug fixes.
+- Minor versions should only contain forward-compatible features/changes.
+- Major versions may break things.
+
+That said, these are more guidelines rather than hardset rules, though the project will generally try to follow them.
