Version scheme
--------------
+We use major.minor.patch since 5.0.0-dev. Prior to that we used 0.major.minor.
-Minetest partially follows semver (major.minor.patch).
+- Major is incremented when the release contains breaking changes, all other
+numbers are set to 0.
+- Minor is incremented when the release contains new non-breaking features,
+patch is set to 0.
+- Patch is incremented when the release only contains bugfixes and very
+minor/trivial features considered necessary.
Since 5.0.0-dev and 0.4.17-dev, the dev notation refers to the next release,
-ie: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.

-Prior to that, we used oldversion-dev.

-Semver was adopted after 0.4.X series. Before that we used 0.major.minor scheme.
+ie: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
+Prior to that we used previous_version-dev.
