From Semantic Versioning:
Patch version Z (x.y.Z | x > 0) MUST be incremented if only backwards compatible bug fixes are introduced. A bug fix is defined as an internal change that fixes incorrect behavior.
Suppose I have a program at version 0.1.12. If I had to increment Y (0.Y.12), should I return Z (0.2.Z) to 0 (becoming 0.2.0) or just keep it unaltered (becoming 0.2.12)?

But it turns out that the semantic versioning spec does recommend to start initial development at 0.1. 0. If you really do not want to support 0.
There are simple rules that indicate when you must increment each of these versions: MAJOR is incremented when you make breaking API changes. MINOR is incremented when you add new functionality without breaking the existing API or functionality. PATCH is incremented when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
Semantic Versioning is a versioning scheme for using meaningful version numbers (that's why it is called Semantic Versioning). Specifically, the meaning revolves around how API versions compare in terms of backwards-compatibility.
Semantic versioning is a formal convention for determining the version number of new software releases. The standard helps software users to understand the severity of changes in each new distribution. A project that uses semantic versioning will advertise a Major, Minor and Patch number for each release.
Major version zero (0. y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.
A patch version enables a developer to change the functionality of existing components in a managed package, while ensuring that subscribers experience no visible changes to the package. Patches should be considered as minor upgrades to a. Managed - Released package and only used for fixing bugs or other errors.
Yes. All numbers should be reset when their parent version is changed.
The specification (http://semver.org/) states:
Patch version MUST be reset to 0 when minor version is incremented.
