So as a concrete example - taking master and the current OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT value.
"OpenSSL 1.1.2-dev xx XXX xxxx" would become "1.1.2-dev+xx.XXX.xxxx" That is what I understand is the point of semantic versioning. You know how to pull apart the version string. -dev indicates a pre-release version known as "dev" +xx.XXX.xxxx indicates build metadata. The underlying release is major 1, minor 1, patch 2. But for semantic versioning where we allow API breakage in our current minor version we would have to shift everything left. And we would then have "1.2.0-dev+xx.XXX.xxxx" if the planned new release wasn't guaranteed API non-breaking with the previous release (1.1.1). Tim.
