"simple set of rules and requirements that dictate how version numbers are assigned and incremented"

""For this system to work, you first need to declare a public API. This may consist of documentation or be enforced by the code itself. Regardless, it is important that this API be clear and precise. Once you identify your public API, you communicate changes to it with specific increments to your version number. Consider a version format of X.Y.Z (Major.Minor.Patch). Bug fixes not affecting the API increment the patch version, backwards compatible API additions/changes increment the minor version, and backwards incompatible API changes increment the major version.

That’s why I made these “Linklog” Feeds, with direct links to the top stories, but still containing the link to the Digg Page in the RSS item description so can still go comment or Digg immediately as well.
