Re: [Wikitech-l] Sane versioning for core (was: Re: Fwd: No more Architecture Committee?)
+1 for something like this. Its not a huge problem not to do semver but it'd be simpler to explain if we did.

It would allow us to follow semver and still retain our current version number history instead of waiting for a magical 2.0. This logic is the opposite of semver. Semver says you only bump the major version number when you make a breaking change. Since breaking changes are Bad Things, therefore bumping the major version number is also a Bad Thing. It is something that you should strive to *avoid* having to do. Under semver, a version number of the form 1.large integer is a *badge of honor*. It means that you have successfully executed many releases *without* needing to make a breaking change. One should display that initial 1. proudly; one should not consider it to be superfluous. zw ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
