FAQ has been split into multiple smaller documents to better categorize and allow users to find what they're looking for (in docs folder or in new website). Release summary information (versioning strategy and cadence) has been migrated from the Wiki and clarified a bit. Also adds copy button for all code snippets in website.

## Versioning
|
|
|
|
We version artifacts in the common `major.minor.patch` strategy.
|
|
|
|
We decided versions should be incremented according to the following rules. The examples provided below are not exhaustive.
|
|
|
|
| Part | Breaking Changes? | Rule | Examples |
|
|
| ----: | :-----------------: | :---- | :------- |
|
|
| major | YES | breaking changes without fallback | <ul><li>New Features</li><li>Large refactors</li><li>Removal of deprecated code</li><li>Changes to coding interfaces</li><li>Large changes to template bound variables</li></ul> |
|
|
| minor | ALLOWED | breaking changes with fallback | <ul><li>Adding new generator behavior which doesn't affect custom templates (or does, with config option for old behavior)</li><li>Changing generator templates in a way in which switching to custom templates results in old behavior</li><li>Introducing deprecated methods in generators or other shared code</li></ul> |
|
|
| patch | NO | new features without breaking changes | <ul><li>New generators</li><li>Bug fixes in template or generators</li></ul> |
|
|
|
|
## Cadence
|
|
|
|
For patch release (e.g. 3.0.5 to 3.0.6), we plan to do it on a _weekly basis_.
|
|
|
|
For minor release (e.g. 3.1.6 to 3.2.0), we plan to do it on a _monthly basis_.
|
|
|
|
For major releases (e.g. 3.3.6 to 4.0.0), we plan to do it on a _quarterly basis_.
