alt Hacker News> Versions before 1.0 do not strictly follow semantic versioning.
Sorry for being nitpicky, but yes they do. Semantic versioning[0] allows arbitrary changes while the major version is 0:
> Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

thanks for the catch, what we meant is that we’re not committing to strict stability guarantees yet, so APIs may still change as we iterate toward 1.0.

Hi, the comment I left in README.md is just to warn user that do expect breaking changes before 1.0 for THIS PROJECT specifically. there is no implication that semver as a standard is promoting arbitrary changes/version before 1.0.
