Clarity on IHE use of version numbers #530

@JohnMoehrke

Description

@JohnMoehrke

Both two number forms, and three number forms should be clarified.

New publications have been using the IG publisher which encourages the use of semver.org versioning with three part number with a potential for suffix.

Our two number forms should also be clarified. It would be best if this could be aligned with the major and minor definitions in semver; and recognizing that this form does not support a patch release.

The only place where we seem to say anything is in guidance to Profile authors https://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Writing_Technical_Frameworks_and_Supplements#Revision_Number

The point of clarifying is to help IHE better pick when a major, minor, or patch number should be what increments on a release; and to help our IHE readers understand the impact of a new release based on the version number.

Making this clear should be done.
