 # Coding Convention
+
+## Version Management
+
+Out version strategy just follows the maven package version convention: `<major>.<minor>.<hotfix>-<prerelease>`, where:
+
+* `<major>`: Increasing when incompatible breaking changes happened
+* `<minor>`: Increasing when new features added
+* `<hotfix>`: Increasing when a hotfix is pushed
+* `<prerelease>`: A string representing a pre-release version
+
+**Use `SNAPSHOT` pre-release tag for packages under development**. Here is the sample workflow:
+
+1. Initially the package version is `1.0-SNAPSHOT`. *There is no hotfix for SNAPSHOT*
+2. Modify the version to `1.0.0-ALPHA` for internal testing purpose. *Notice the hotfix exists here*
+3. After several BUG fixes, update the version to `1.0.0`.
+4. Create a new development version `1.1-SNAPSHOT`.
+5. Make a new hotfix into `1.0-SNAPSHOT`, and release to version `1.0.1`.
+6. New features are added to `1.1-SNAPSHOT`.
+
+Every time you release a non-development version (like `1.0.0-ALPHA` or `1.0.1`), you also need to update the tag in your git repository.
