== 1.0 Introduction
Hello! This document contains the roadmap for the Iridium project. It is high level and does not discuss implementation details.
== 2.0 Milestones and Versioning
Iridium uses semantic versioning. Mostly. It was originally a learning project, and tutorials are still being written as development progresses. We use the patch number to indicate which tutorial goes with which release.
== 3.0 Milestones
Until we reach version 0.1.0, one tutorial is tied to one patch version. For example, tutorial #16 corresponds to 0.0.16. Each of these are tagged in GitLab. Once the tutorials are finished, we will go to 0.1.0 and follow semver.
This section details the milestones starting from `0.1.0`.
