I use CalVer in my projects. I might transition to SemVer some time, but given that most of my projects are standalone, it doesn’t make much sense to track external compatibility.
Pride Versioning makes no sense, because In never quite proud enough of my work to distinguish it from 0ver.
Just add a leading “0.”
Edit: TIL 0ver
I’ve noticed this and seeing it all laid out is hilarious. (So, so many JS frameworks omg)
Is this basically so they can forever say: “Well don’t expect it to be feature complete, it’s not even 1.0 yet!” ??
I’m afraid most, if not all, of the projects listed use pride versioning, also.
This is hilarious
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
Release please with conventional commit PR titles.
The fairly mature internal component we’re working on is
v0.0.134.A shameful display!
For an internal project that’s fine, and under semantic versioning you can basically break anything you like before v1.0.0 so it’s probably valid
This is is basically just true
I wish it was true here. Major releases are always the most shameful ones because so much is always left to “we can fix that later”
Hey as long as it ships it can always be an RMA. If there’s a problem the customer will let us know™
So pride is a synonym for semantic. Got it.
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
Date based version numbers is just lazy. There’s nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).
At least with pride versioning there’s some logic to it.
the point is just to have a way to tell releases apart, if every release is version 5 then you’re going to start self harming
That reminds me, maybe I should re-watch Doug Hickey’s full-throated attack on versioning & breaking changes. Spec-ulation Keynote
a classic
Thought it’s 2.7.1828182845904523536 for a sec
