In this PR I move Faasm and its tightly coupled dependencies (faasm/faabric#334, faasm/cpp#120, and faasm/python#30) to use semantic versioning, or SemVer.
Admittedly, Faasm doesn't expose a stable API, and it will never reach a stable version (i.e.
>=1.0.0according to SemVer). Still, SemVer provides some rationale re. when to tag a new version. Whereas until now we had no rationale at all (only whenever we wanted a new container image).In summary, with SemVer:
minorversion (inv git.bump --minor) any time we introduce a new feature.patchversion (inv git.bump --patch) any time we fix a bug.We are still a bit selective wrt to what is a feature and what is a bug, and it will still be ultimately arbitrary. But at least it provides a bit more order.
In addition, I also move the tasks to bump tracked dependencies to
inv git.bump-dep [--faabric,cpp,python,faasmctl], and bump thefaasmctlversion to fix the Azure integration tests.
