+## Versioning
+
+This library aims to adhere to [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0][semver].
+Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically,
+if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward
+compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that
+restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will
+only be introduced with new major versions.
+
+As a result of this policy, you can (and should) specify a
+dependency on this gem using the [Pessimistic Version Constraint][pvc] with two digits of precision.
+
+For example:
+
+```ruby
+spec.add_dependency 'multipart-post', '~> 2.1'
+```
