VerifiedAccording to the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) specification, a Patch-level update signifies backward-compatible bug fixes.78% similarVerifiedSemantic Versioning (SemVer) divides the version number into three parts, major.minor.patch; an incremented patch number theoretically contains only backward-compatible bug fixes and should not introduce breaking changes.75% similarUnverifiedA patch number increment usually corresponds to backward-compatible bug fixes, security patches, or internal maintenance changes, without introducing breaking API changes or major new features.73% similarVerifiedThe Semantic Versioning format is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH: MAJOR is incremented for incompatible API changes, MINOR is incremented when backward-compatible new features are added, and PATCH is incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes.73% similarUnverifiedAccording to Semantic Versioning (SemVer), a patch number increment only includes backward-compatible bug fixes, documentation, or dependency synchronization, and does not change the signatures and behavioral contracts of existing calls.72% similar
