+Versioning
+------------
+PF4J will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
+
+Releases will be numbered with the follow format:
+
+`<major>.<minor>.<patch>`
+
+And constructed with the following guidelines:
+
+* Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major
+* New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor
+* Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch
+
+For more information on SemVer, please visit http://semver.org/.
