    I would never trust a dev defined SemVer as more than a relatively useless indicator of compatibility. I make sure there’s proper unit and integration testing to prevent external dependencies breaking production. If it’s a major dependency I check the release notes every version.

      My suggestion is in compliance with standard SemVer as far as I can tell, but yes it is frustrating when apps use versioning that looks like SemVer, but make interface changes in Minor versions and don’t really adhere to SemVer.

      Eh, I’d much rather have a dev-defined SemVer that’s sometimes inaccurate than something that just arbitrarily increases every release. The first provides some information, the second doesn’t.
