How we version changes

  • Patch updates (typos, minor clarifications): increment patch (e.g., v1.0.1).
  • Objective re-mapping / added sections: increment minor (e.g., v1.1).
  • Major blueprint shifts: increment major (e.g., v2.0).

We align to CompTIA’s published exam objectives. When those change, we update the syllabus mapping first, then mirror adjustments across cheatsheet and practice coverage.
