Wireleap API consumer-provider semantic versioning

As mentioned in the Monolithic wireleap repository split, released under MIT post, consumer-provider semantic versioning was in the works. Initial support has now been implemented and released in the latest component versions, along with other improvements.

Please note, this is a backwards incompatible release.

Protocol version

Previously, all components shared the same semantic software release and protocol version. This worked quite well and was convenient, but required a full software suite version bump for each change.

$ wireleap version
0.3.2, protocol version 0.3.2
sequenceDiagram participant client participant relay participant dir participant contract participant ps participant auth client->auth: semver

API Consumer-Provider versioning

With the split, each component received its own software version depicted by the git tag, and depended on a specific version of common, but still used a “common protocol version”.

With this release, each component now inherits the interface versions as defined in common for API consumer-provider intercomponent communication, allowing for versions to be bumped individually as needed, while adhering to the semantic versioning specification.

$ wireleap version -v
0.4.0
client-dir interface version 0.1.0
client-relay interface version 0.1.0
client-contract interface version 0.1.0

$ wireleap-relay version -v
0.4.0
client-relay interface version 0.1.0
relay-dir interface version 0.1.0
relay-relay interface version 0.1.0
relay-contract interface version 0.1.0
sequenceDiagram participant client participant relay participant dir participant contract participant ps participant auth client->>relay: semver client->>dir: semver client->>contract: semver relay->>relay: semver relay->>dir: semver relay->>contract: semver contract->>ps: semver ps->>auth: semver

Note: Releases are based on semantic versioning, and use the format MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. While the MAJOR version is 0, MINOR version bumps are considered MAJOR bumps per the semver spec. https://wireleap.com/docs/client/#versioning
