+## Versioning
+
+Versions take the format X.Y.Z, similar to [Python itself](https://devguide.python.org/developer-workflow/development-cycle/#devcycle):
+
+* Increments in X are reserved for major reworks of the project causing disruptive incompatibility (or reaching the 1.0 milestone).
+* Increments in Y are for regular releases with a new set of features.
+* Increments in Z are for bug fixes. In principle there are no new features. Can be omitted if 0 or not relevant.
+
+This is similar to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) but less strict around backward compatibility.
+Like with Python, some breaking changes can be present between minor versions if well documented and gradually introduced.
+
+Note that prior to 0.11.0 this schema was not strictly adhered to.
