+## Version policy
+fif adheres to the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) principles. While fif remains at version 0.x, the version
+number will be updated as follows:
+- The MAJOR version will be bumped to 1 when I believe fif to be "feature complete".
+- The MINOR version will be bumped whenever I add a fairly important feature to fif (in the past, this has been bumped
+when adding the ability to exclude extensions, and when fif gained the ability to output a bash script rather than a
+list of invalid filenames). The MINOR version will also be bumped when increasing the MSRV.
+- The PATCH version will be bumped in all other cases, including minor feature additions (in the past, this has occurred
+when adding features such as more output formats and the ignore flag).
+
+If/when fif hits version 1.0, these rules will likely remain the same as they are now.
