Minor Version

Definitions

1. The middle segment in a semantic version number, commonly used to indicate backward-compatible new functionality without breaking existing integrations. Minor versions often signal meaningful progress without forcing urgent migrations.

   In plain English: The middle part of a version number, often used for non-breaking new features.

   Example: "They saved the new feature for the next minor version because it added capability without changing existing APIs."
