I wasn't able to find a forum for general questions, so if there's a better place to ask general support questions... please let me know.

That said, I am trying to understand how we would configure python-semantic-release to enable us to release a patch version or hotfix of an old version. In our code base we have versions like 0.2.11 and 0.15.12 -- if we currently have 0.2.11 pushed to a production environment and need to release a patch (or hotfix) version (for example 0.2.12 or 0.2.12-hotfix.1 if attempting a "prerelease") when using python-semantic-version it seems to want the next release to be 0.15.13.

In this scenario we've created a branch from an old version of our main branch where the last tagged version is 0.2.11 -- so the "next" release we'd expect is 0.2.12 or 0.2.12-hotfix.1.

Is there a pattern or path where we could implement our expected behavior? Thanks!
