## 📚 Project Definition
BookStack is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out of the box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience.

## 🚀 Release Versioning & Process
BookStack releases are each assigned a version number, such as "v0.25.2", in the format `v<phase>.<feature>.<patch>`. A change only in the `patch` number indicates a fairly minor release that mainly contains fixes and therefore is very unlikely to cause breakages upon update. A change in the `feature` number indicates a release which will generally bring new features in addition to fixes and enhancements. These releases have a small chance of introducing breaking changes upon update so it's worth checking for any notes in the [update guide](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/updates/). A change in the `phase` indicates a much large change in BookStack that will likely incur breakages requiring manual intervention.
BookStack releases are each assigned a date-based version number in the format `v<year>.<month>[.<optional_patch_number>]`. For example:
- `v20.12` - New feature released launched during December 2020.
- `v21.06.2` - Second patch release upon the June 2021 feature release.
Patch releases are generally fairly minor, primarily intended for fixes and therefore is fairly unlikely to cause breakages upon update.
Feature releases are generally larger, bringing new features in addition to fixes and enhancements. These releases have a greater chance of introducing breaking changes upon update, so it's worth checking for any notes in the [update guide](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/updates/).
Each BookStack release will have a [milestone](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/milestones) created with issues & pull requests assigned to it to define what will be in that release. Milestones are built up then worked through until complete at which point, after some testing and documentation updates, the release will be deployed.
For feature releases, and some patch releases, the release will be accompanied by a post on the [BookStack blog](https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/) which will provide additional detail on features, changes & updates otherwise the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/releases) will show a list of changes. You can sign up to be alerted to new BookStack blogs posts (once per week maximum) [at this link](https://updates.bookstackapp.com/signup/bookstack-news-and-updates).

## 🛠️ Development & Testing
All development on BookStack is currently done on the master branch. When it's time for a release the master branch is merged into release with built & minified CSS & JS then tagged at its version. Here are the current development requirements:
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v12.0+
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v14.0+
This project uses SASS for CSS development and this is built, along with the JavaScript, using a range of npm scripts. The below npm commands can be used to install the dependencies & run the build tasks:
