Managing semver versions in release

Semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) is the most widely used convention for naming software releases. It communicates the scope of change to users and engineering teams. Managing it well during release coordination avoids confusion across stores, support, and internal tools.

Reading semver

MAJOR: breaking or incompatible changes. MINOR: new backward-compatible functionality. PATCH: bug fixes without new features. This convention helps everyone anticipate the impact of an update and plan communication accordingly.

Aligning stores and semver

The App Store and Play Store both expect a version number that must match what you communicate internally and to users. HyperRelease accepts semver labels and helps you maintain a single version identity across iOS, Android, web, and backend.

History and traceability

Each semver version in HyperRelease is a traceable object: status, content, publication dates per platform. You can answer “what did we ship in 2.3.x?” without digging through Git tags or store console history.

In summary

Semver structures communication around releases. HyperRelease makes it the pivot of your cross-platform coordination.
