## Choosing version increment

The `operator-controller` project is in its initial development phase and has yet to have a Major release, so users should assume that breaking changes may be seen in Minor releases as defined [here](https://semver.org/#spec-item-4).
The `operator-controller` following Semantic Versioning guarantees:

In general, the `operator-controller`` will only support Minor releases until it has reached a degree of stability and adoption that the benefits of supporting Patch releases outweighs the costs of supporting this release workflow. If a member of the community strongly desires a patch release addressing a critical bug, they should submit an issue and it will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

In the future, the `operator-controller` will have a Major release in which we'll adopt the following Semantic Versioning guarantees:
* Major: API breaking change(s) are made.
* Minor: Backwards compatible features are added.
* Patch: Backwards compatible bug fix is made.

When a Major or Minor release being made is associated with one or more milestones, please ensure that all related features have been merged into the `main` branch before continuing.
