The third value here is for "backward compatible bug fixes", (as others here have suggested). The wording on the page eludes to changes that "fix incorrect behavior", or "these are changes that could create problems if the library relied on buggy behavior" (my words). I can get on board with that. So that would make, x.y.z where x is major, y is minor, and z is patch level. The major is bumped for breaking changes, the minor is bumped for changes in features or functionality that are backward compatible, and the patch level is bumped for every other change. -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
