## Post release actions
Mark the MCUBoot version as a development version. The version number used
should be specified for the next expected release.
It should be larger than the last release version by incrementing the MAJOR or
the MINOR number. It is not necessary to define the next version precisely as
the next release version might still be different as it might be needed to do:
- a patch release
- a MINOR release while a MAJOR release was expected
- a MAJOR release while a MINOR release was expected
