Contributing

Before contributing to Behat, please take a look at the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) document.

Versioning

Starting from v3.0.0, Behat is following Semantic Versioning v2.0.0. This basically means that if all you do is implement interfaces (like this one) and use service constants (like this one), you would not have any backwards compatibility issues with Behat up until v4.0.0 (or later major) is released. Exception could be an extremely rare case where BC break is introduced as a measure to fix a serious issue.

You can read detailed guidance on what BC means in Symfony2 BC guide.
