Semantic versioning is a major change in behaviour with a focus on the API being directly reflected in the versioning scheme. It does mean that a lot of how we have handled things in the past in terms of what was okay to go into a patch release changes. Patch release become* pure bug fix *with no API changes (of any form) releases and that is very different. We have taken a relatively flexible interpretation - and put in a lot more than bug fixes into the letter (patch) releases - we have added upwards compatible API additions. It would also mean our LTS releases are MAJOR.MINOR - as the PATCH is the fixes we will apply - so it isn't part of the LTS designation as such. e.g. 5.0.x would be the marker - not 5.0.0 - so 5.0 in shorthand form.
