Dogma Solutions Foundation

The Dogma Solutions "Foundation" project (2005-2025) is an attempt to provide a basic and modern set of (opinionated):

• Interfaces and abstractions for objects, DTOs, an entities modeling
• Recyclable low-level functionalities
• Simple implementations of most common design patterns

Versions history and versioning criteria

All packages follows the conventions of Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.
Cit.:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
3. PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions
to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
