+# Versioning and Releases
+
+- (__X__.0.0) We use the major version number to indicate a breaking change.
+- (0.__Y__.0) The minor version number is used to differentiate between different ROS distributions:
+  - x.__0__.z: Humble Hawksbill
+  - x.__1__.z: Iron Irwini
+  - x.__2__.z: Jazzy Jalisco
+  - x.__3__.z: Rolling Ridley
+  - Future releases (Kilted Kaiju 05/25) will get x.__3__.z and _Rolling_ will be incremented accordingly.
+- (0.0.__Z__) The patch version number is used for changes in the current ROS distribution that do not affect the API.
