+## How We Version
+
+We use [SemVer](https://semver.org/) for its versioning providing us an opt-in approach to releases.
+This means we add a version number according to the spec, as you see below.
+So rather than force developers to consume the latest and greatest, they can choose which version to consume and test any newer ones before upgrading.
+Please the read the spec as it goes into further detail.
+
+## Supported Node.js Versions
+
+Libraries in this ecosystem make the best effort to track
+[Node.js’ release schedule](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/). Here’s [a
+post on why we think this is important](https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/maintainers-should-consider-following-node-js-release-schedule-ab08ed4de71a).
