## Versioning strategy for packages

TypeSpec is currently in its development phase, and all packages are released with a `0.` major version. Each minor version may introduce some breaking changes to the TypeSpec language, library API, or both. These changes are documented [here](../../release-notes/release-2025-02-11/).

Any modification to the `main` branch is automatically published under the npm `@next` tag.
