 Source Code
 -----------
 
-libcamera is in early stages of development, and no releases are available yet.
+libcamera is in active development, including investigations into what a 'good'
+API is for the implementation. We can't guarantee we have all features
+implemented, or designed correctly yet, and we have plans to make considerable
+changes to the API and ABI in our roadmap.
+
+Even so, we provide periodic 'releases' to support distributions and packaging
+teams. To support this we are currently making releases of the 0.y.z version
+scheme, loosely following semver.
+
+In the foreseeable future, the following applies:
+
+  0.y.z : Active development, but with ABI breakage detection. The 0.y
+          version will bump on an ABI/API breakage. Ongoing development will
+          increment the .z version component. Therefore, pre 1.0 'y' is a
+          close equivalent to a major release.
+
+  1.y.z : Stable API and ABI guarantees on the Major version number.
+          Following semantic versioning as documented at https://semver.org/
