One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH* MAJOR is incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes. MINOR is incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way. PATCH is incremented for smaller big fixes. Each number is reset to zero when a higher level number is incremented. * It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.
