Marked uses [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release) to release new versions. All PRs should use the "Squash and merge" strategy and the commit message should follow the [conventional commit guidelines](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/).
**Master is always shippable:** We try to merge PRs in such a way that `master` is the only branch to really be concerned about *and*`master` can always be released. This allows smoother flow between new features, bug fixes, and so on.
1.**Major:** There is at least one change to the public API or a break from the [CommonMark](https://spec.commonmark.org/current/) or [GFM](https://github.github.com/gfm/) spec.
2.**Minor:** There is at least one new feature added to the public API.
3.**Patch:** Changes that move Marked closer to spec compliance or change a public API that does not break backwards compatibility.
