I really had to fight for versioning. Everyone was just patch version here. Breaking changes in the API, new features, completely overhauled design? Well, it’s 0.6.24 instead of 0.6.23 now.
But gladly we’re moving away from version numbers alltogether. Starting next year it will be 2025.1.0 with monthly releases
I once had someone open an issue in my side project repo who asked about a major release bump and whether it meant there were any breaking changes or major changes and I was just like idk I just thought I added enough and felt like bumping the major version ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think is the logic used for Linux kernel versioning so you’re in good company.
But everyone should really follow semantic versioning. It makes life so much easier.
either have meaning to the number and do semantic versioning, or don’t bother and simply use dates or maybe simple increments
The fairly mature internal component we’re working on is v0.0.134.
That reminds me, maybe I should re-watch Doug Hickey’s full-throated attack on versioning & breaking changes. Spec-ulation Keynote
