NME versioning and releases

NME uses Semantic Versioning with explicit beta prereleases while the language is still being designed.

#Current release line

The current release is 0.0.1-beta.160; the public line began at 0.0.1-beta.1. Later public beta releases increase the last number by one. A Git commit or a branch push is not automatically a release, so development commits can share the version of the beta they are preparing.

Read the beta.153 release notes for the current checkpoint; older beta notes remain available beside it.

Each release must update these together:

• the workspace version in Cargo.toml and resolved local package versions in Cargo.lock;
• the changelog and release notes; and
• version references in both English and Korean user documentation.

#1.0.0 is owner-controlled

Version 1.0.0, including any 1.0.0-* prerelease, may be created or published only after an explicit instruction from the repository owner. Passing tests, feature completeness, or a release schedule never grants that permission implicitly.

Until then, NME remains on the 0.x beta line. Compatibility is still taken seriously: release notes must call out any changed syntax or generated Python behavior.
