Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

This project has its own custom versioning scheme. Version numbers consist of three parts (e. g. 3.1.5).

  • The first number is increased on major rewrites or changes. What classifies as a major change is up to the maintainers. This is pretty rare and a PFERD version 4 should hopefully not be necessary.
  • The second number is increased on backwards-incompatible changes in behaviour. This refers to any change that would make an existing setup behave differently (e. g. renaming options or changing crawler behaviour). If this number is increased, it may be necessary for you to adapt your own setup.
  • The third number is increased on backwards-compatible changes (e. g. adding new options or commands, changing documentation, fixing bugs). Updates that only increase this number should be safe and not require manual intervention.

We will try to correctly classify changes as backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible, but may occasionally make mistakes or stumble across ambiguous situations.
