+Version scheme
+--------------
+
+Minetest doesn't follow semver. Instead, we do something roughly similar to 0.major.minor.
+
+Since 0.5.0-dev and 0.4.17-dev, the dev notation refers to the next release, 
+ie: 0.5.0-dev is the development version leading to 0.5.0.
+
+Prior to that, we used oldversion-dev.
