    Semantic versioning. If I have 1.0.0 and you release 1.1.0 I can be pretty confident it’s safe to update. If you release 2.0.0 I need to read the release notes and see what broke.

    If I have version July2023 and you release August2023 I have no information about if it’s safe to update. That’s terrible. That’s really bad.

    This is for dependency management and maybe apis more than OSs, but in general semantic versioning is a very good system. It should be used often.

      Alright I think I saw been somewhat convinced by this. But I also think the date should be included in some way.
