Versions numbers
aplavin opened this issue · 3 comments
Changing the first non-zero number in a package version means a breaking change. As far as I see, OpenAI.jl only adds new features in recent versions, doesn't break anything.
So, according to how Julia treats package versions, they should go 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, etc for new features. And 0.1.0, 0.2.0, etc should be reserved for breaking changes. See https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/v1/compatibility/.
Ahh, I wasn't aware of the nuances with leading zeros. I suppose the solution would be to correctly version from here on out? I assume that mutating tags would be bad because the general registry entries would break.
Totally! Existing versions are fundamentally immutable: they'll stay "forever" in the General registry and package server.
Best to continue further according to semantic versioning.
Thanks for the feedback!
