Versioning

8.x is the stability line. Install the latest release:

npm install velociradix

The 6 → 7 → 8 jump in a few days was a mistake. New majors are for breaking changes only, with a migration guide — not for features, not for README edits.

Change	Bump
Fix, security, docs	patch (8.x.y)
Additive API	minor (8.x.0)
Remove/rename public API or break crypto/parse	major (9.0.0), later

Canonical policy: VERSIONING.md in the repo.
