Stages

To alter the next version stage, use the Gradle property:

Via command line:

-Psemver.stage=<stage>

In any valid gradle.properties:

semver.stage=<stage>

Note

If no stage is provided, a default of auto will be used.

The following are possible values:

Stage	Pre-release Label	Example Tag	Description
`dev`	dev	`v1.0.0-dev.1`	Development stage
`alpha`	alpha	`v1.0.0-alpha.1`	Alpha stage

`release`	release	`v1.0.0-release.1`	Release stage
`stable`	(none)	`v1.0.0`	Stable stage
