Versioning
I use Semantic Versioning which has 3 numbers separated by a dot: Major.Minor.Patch.
Major
A major change is an incompatible change that requires major realignment. Examples include:
entirely removing an archetype, class, species, or theme
moving an archetype from one class to another
majorly reworking an archetype, class, species, or theme
Minor
A minor change is a change that should take minimal realignment. Examples include:
renaming a theme or splitting a theme to multiple themes
removing a theme from a power source
adding a new archetype, class, subclass, species, concoction, feat, maneuver, spell, or theme
changing an archetype, class, subclass, species, concoction, feat, maneuver, spell, or theme
Patch
A patch change is generally a bug fix. Examples include wording adjustments or correcting a feature that does not work as intended.

- Suffused absorbs the Occultist to create a unified structural class based on magic coming from an origin (Celestial, Dragon, Fey, Fiend, etc). The Suffused now has its magic conferred upon them by an exotic bloodline, an otherworldly patron, or exposure to unknown cosmic forces. The Occultist was a mix of some spirit/occult magic combined with this origin based on a patron. That mix wasn’t a good mix for many patrons. The Occultist pigeon-holed characters into playing a concept based around “evil” curses and hexes, which wasn’t a good fit for quite a lot of patrons (Celestial) or for characters with traditionally “evil” patrons that were not “evil” themselves (Hellboy in popular media).
- The Hexblade archetype has been reworked into the Infuser which infuses targets with magic.
- A curse based character is still very achievable by picking spells like bane and bestow curse.
