Software Versioning is the practice of assigning unique identifiers (like 1.0.2 or v2.4-beta) to distinct releases of a software product to track changes, features, and bug fixes over time. Common schemes include semantic versioning (major.minor.patch), which communicates the significance of changes to developers and users relying on the software. Versioning is essential for dependency management, release tracking, and coordinating updates across teams.
