Customizing Versioning Logic

Sometimes we do want to use semantic versioning, but we want to add additional information. We usually do that by adding prefixes or suffixes to the three versions (major, minor, and patch). As a matter of fact, we are already doing that. So far, our pipelines use “pure” semantic versioning, except for GitHub releases. As a refresher, the step that creates release notes is jx step changelog --version v\$(cat ../../VERSION). You can see that v is added as a prefix to the version.
