It's not semver. It's odd-even numbering system, the same as linux kernel has before 3.0.
Only a micro number has the same meaning as in semver, and it's only because it's pretty much common practice to use last digit to indicate backward compatibility. I've yet to see a package that actually uses semver and never breaks it. :) On Monday, February 10, 2014 6:42:41 AM UTC+4, Mark Hahn wrote: > > > it is one of several popular version numbering schemes. > > It is semver: http://semver.org/ > > > On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 5:51 PM, Ryan Schmidt > <[email protected]<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> >> On Feb 9, 2014, at 15:02, Kevin Ingwersen >> <[email protected]<javascript:>> >> wrote: >> >> >> On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 3:23 PM, Harald Hanche-Olsen < >> [email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: >> >> [Ingwie Phoenix <[email protected] <javascript:>> (2014-02-09 >> 19:11:14 UTC)] >> >> >> >>> I just built a node binary off 0.11.12-pre from github.
