Dev.Coding Standards

Pi Development Best Practices

Coding Standards

• PHP Standard [V]
  • PSR compliant [>]
  • Zend Framework [>]
• HTML Standard [E]
• CSS Standard [E]
• JavaScript Standard [>]
• All code must be strictly compliant to its corresponding standards, no warning/notice messages allowed

Semantic Versioning Specification

• For transparency and insight into our release cycle, and striving to maintain backward compatibility, Xoops/Pi Engine will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
• Releases will be numbered in the following format: <major>.<minor>.<patch> And constructed with the following guidelines:
  • Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
  • New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
  • Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch
