 ## Tags
-Most numeric tags are simple version numbers for the various scripts. However, there are some special tags.
-staging: The latest build from the master branch.
-*-rc: release candidate builds, nearly ready but might contain small changes.
-*-beta: beta builds, still need testing but shouldn't change too much.
-*-alpha: alpha builds, which are likely to change.
+Both the repository and Docker Hub images follow the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) standard.
+Docker Hub image versions are prefixed with v, and contain the full version, version sub patch number and version sub minor and patch.
+
+For example, the repository tag 1.2.3, creates the Hub tags v1.2.3, v1.2 and v1, to allow for binding to a specific version, specific minor version or specific major version.
