We build HLP-Candidate to become the foundation of applications served by an API. Changes to the API should be preceeded with in-depth discussion and introduced in accordance with the versioning scheme.
HLP-Candidate uses major.minor.patch version scheme. Versions within same major and minor but higher patch number should be drop-in backward compatible on API level. A version with higher minor within the same major will add and might remove features, break API, database or network drop-in backward compatibility.
Pulls should be focused, fix a bug, add a feature or refactore code, but not a mixture. Bug fixes and features should be accompanied with test. Refactoring with wide scope, such as renaming a frequently used method should be discussed as a feature request and will be applied during dedicated re-factoring windows, that maintainer of the code base will announce regularly.
