+### Using bumpver
+For developers: When you want to publish a new version, use
+``` bash
+# Increment the PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
+bumpver update --patch
+# Increment the MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner.
+bumpver update --minor
+# Increment the MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
+bumpver update --major
+```
