Description

Semver's convention for naming releases goes like this:

Major.Minor.Patch-prerelease+buildMetadata

Currently, we use the prerelease version string of "SNAPSHOT," which is a relic from our days using Maven for building Java software. Being hip, edgy, modern developers, we can probably use something a bit more succinct and descriptive instead.

Let's change our development prerelease version to "dev" instead.

    see http://semver.org point 10 for build metadata in the version number.

    git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD

    can be used to get the short form of the SHA commit hash
