Versioning Policy

mcpup uses semantic versioning with staged stability tags.

Stages

• Alpha (v0.x.y-alpha.n): early features, breaking changes expected.
• Beta (v0.x.y-beta.n): feature complete for target milestone, stabilization phase.
• Stable (v1.x.y and above): backward compatibility commitments begin.

Rules

• Patch (x.y.Z): bug fixes, no breaking CLI or config schema changes.
• Minor (x.Y.z): backward-compatible features and new adapters.
• Major (X.y.z): breaking CLI/config behavior changes.

Schema Versioning

• Canonical config schema version is tracked in ~/.mcpup/config.json.
• New schema versions require explicit migration strategy before rollout.

Release Tags

• Stable: v1.2.3
• Prerelease: v1.2.3-beta.1, v1.2.3-rc.1
