DocuElevate Milestones
Last Updated: 2026-02-08
This document outlines the release milestones, versioning strategy, and detailed feature breakdown for DocuElevate.
Versioning Strategy
DocuElevate follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0:
- MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.3)
- MAJOR: Breaking changes or major architectural shifts
- MINOR: New features, backward-compatible
- PATCH: Bug fixes, security patches, backward-compatible
Release Cadence
- Patch releases: As needed for critical bugs/security
- Minor releases: Every 6-8 weeks
- Major releases: Every 12-18 months
Current Release: v0.5.0 (February 2026)
Status: Stable
- Production-ready document processing
- Multi-provider storage support
- Database-backed settings management with encryption
- Setup wizard for first-time configuration
- Admin UI for runtime configuration
- Automated semantic versioning and releases
- OAuth2 authentication with admin group support
- Basic web UI and REST API
Important Note on Versioning
As of February 2026, DocuElevate uses automated semantic versioning:
- Version management handled by
python-semantic-release - Releases automated via GitHub Actions on merge to main
- Version bumps determined by conventional commit messages
VERSIONandCHANGELOG.mdautomatically updated- GitHub Releases created automatically with release notes

Release Process
Automated Semantic Versioning (v0.6.0+)
Starting with v0.6.0, releases are fully automated using python-semantic-release:
- Commit with Conventional Format: Use conventional commit messages (feat, fix, etc.)
- Merge to Main: PR merges trigger semantic-release workflow
- Automated Analysis: semantic-release determines version from commits
- Automatic Updates:
- Updates
VERSIONfile - Generates/updates
CHANGELOG.md - Creates Git tag (e.g.,
v0.6.0) - Creates GitHub Release with notes
- Triggers Docker image builds
- Updates
- No Manual Steps: VERSION and CHANGELOG are never edited manually
Version Bump Rules
feat:commits → Minor version (0.5.0 → 0.6.0)fix:,perf:→ Patch version (0.5.0 → 0.5.1)feat!:,BREAKING CHANGE:→ Major version (0.5.0 → 1.0.0)- Other types (docs, chore, etc.) → No version bump
