Restangular follows the Semantic Versioning for its releases: (Major).(Minor).(Patch).

• Patch number: When backwards compatible bug fixes are introduced that fix incorrect behavior.
• Minor version: When new, backwards compatible functionality is introduced to the public API or a minor feature is introduced, or when a set of smaller features is rolled out.
• Major version: Whenever there is something significant or any backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API.

The current stable release will receive security patches and bug fixes (eg. 1.6.0 -> 1.6.1). Feature releases will mark the next supported stable release where the minor version is increased numerically by increments of one (eg. 1.6.3 -> 1.7.0).

We encourage everyone to run the latest stable release.
