Description: Application versioning is the process of assigning version numbers to different releases of an application. This process is fundamental in software development, as it allows developers and users to identify and differentiate between various iterations of an application. Each version may include new features, performance improvements, bug fixes, or changes to the user interface. Using a standardized versioning system, such as SemVer (Semantic Versioning), facilitates communication between development teams and users, as it provides a clear framework for what to expect from each new version. For example, a change in the major number indicates incompatible changes, while a change in the minor number suggests compatible improvements. Additionally, versioning aids in dependency management, allowing other projects that depend on a specific application to function correctly with the appropriate version. In agile development environments and cloud platforms, versioning becomes even more crucial as applications are deployed and updated frequently, making it essential to maintain clear control over versions to ensure software stability and functionality.
