+
+## Versioning
+
+For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, Brooklyn will be maintained under the [Semantic Versioning guidelines](http://semver.org/).
+
+Releases will be numbered with the following format:
+
+`<major>.<minor>.<patch>`
+
+And constructed with the following guidelines:
+
+* Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
+* New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
+* Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch
+
+Milestone (`<major>.<minor>.<patch>-M<milestone>`) and Release Candidate (`<major>.<minor>.<patch>-rc.<candidate>`) are used in the release process.
