For example:
- `v0.7.x`: it's the first final release to match the vLLM `v0.7.x` version.
- `v0.7.1rc1`: will be the first pre version of vllm-ascend.
- `v0.7.1.post1`: will be the post release if the `v0.7.1` release has some minor errors.

## Branch policy
vllm-ascend has main branch and dev branch.
- **main**: main branchcorresponds to the vLLM main branch, and is continuously monitored for quality through Ascend CI.
- **vX.Y.Z-dev**: development branch, created with part of new releases of vLLM. For example, `v0.7.1-dev` is the dev branch for vLLM `v0.7.1` version.
- **vX.Y.Z-dev**: development branch, created with part of new releases of vLLM. For example, `v0.7.3-dev` is the dev branch for vLLM `v0.7.3` version.
Usually, a commit should be ONLY first merged in the main branch, and then backported to the dev branch to reduce maintenance costs as much as possible.
