+
+## Versioning
+
+Daru follows semantic versioning whereby the version number is always in the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+
+* Patch bump = Bug fixes
+* Minor bump = New features but backwards compatible
+* Major bump = API breaking changes
+
+For Major and Minor bumps release candidates should be released around 2 weeks prior to the bump and are indicated by MAJOR.MINOR.0.rc.
+
+For more information see the full semantic versioning specification at http://semver.org/.
+
+## Release Timing
+
+Patch releases should be done after every fix of a major bug (as tagged in the github issue tracker).
+Major releases should be kept to the minimum.
