Semantic versioning on Half Earth

We do our own flavour of Semantic Versioning, in order to fulfill the specificities of a data intensive user facing project. In short, updates on version number will increase depending on the type of change that has been done to the codebase.
This should be the structure of the version number: major.minor.patch

Find below the types of changes that fit in each category:

Major

• New Features (like in Jira epics)
• New data layers
• Higher scale data layers

Minor

• Data layers updates
• Metadata updates (in case anything needs to be deployed from the platform)
• Js API upgrades
• Chore implementation for internal use
• Design iterations on existing features

Patch

• Bug fixes
• Typos
