In a Bitcoin developer email thread dated October 1, 2015, Marcel Jamin questioned why the versioning of Bitcoin does not align with SemVer specifications. In response, a fellow developer explained that Bitcoin actually does follow the SemVer standard, using the format a.b.c, with each major release being represented by a new second digit (e.g. 0.12.0) and maintenance releases indicated by a third digit change (e.g. 0.12.1). Additionally, release candidates are labeled with a hyphenated suffix (e.g. 0.12.0-rc1). The email thread provides insight into the technical aspects of Bitcoin development and highlights the importance of adhering to industry standards.
