Correct semantic version example in "New Release" to conform with SemVer
In the "new release" dialogue (/-/releases/new) the following example is given:
Releases are based on Git tags. We recommend tags that use semantic versioning, for example v1.0.0, v2.1.0-pre.
This is contradicting with what SemVer has to say about this:
Is “v1.2.3” a semantic version?
No, “v1.2.3” is not a semantic version. However, prefixing a semantic version with a “v” is a common way (in English) to indicate it is a version number. Abbreviating “version” as “v” is often seen with version control. Example: git tag v1.2.3 -m "Release version 1.2.3", in which case “v1.2.3” is a tag name and the semantic version is “1.2.3”.
I suggest to strip the v from the example like so:
| Now | Changed |
|---|---|
... for example v1.0.0, v2.1.0-pre. |
... for example 1.0.0, 2.1.0-pre. |
