## Version Strategy
|
|
|
|
* When in doubt, refer to the new Joomla development strategy modelled on Semver (link).
|
|
* The major version of this package is synchronised with the major version of Joomla it is designed to run under.
|
|
For example, Weblinks 3.x is designed to run under Joomla 3.x; Weblinks 4.x under Joomla 4.x; and so on.
|
|
* A new minor version will be released each time there is a new feature or a significant change made to the package.
