Breaking Changes and Versioning?

[reintroducing]

Is this a question?

I'm upgrading this module in my project and I took a look at the changelog to see what changed. There are multiple entries for BREAKING yet the version did not get a major bump rather a minor. Does this project follow semantic versioning? If so, why are these changes not bumping the major version? Thanks.

Hi @reintroducing ,

http-proxy-middleware does follow semver.

Think there's a common misunderstanding regarding 0.y.z versions:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

source: https://semver.org/#spec-item-4

To avoid confusion maybe I should go for version 1.y.z?

@chimurai You are right, I missed that part in the spec so thank you for clarifying. I was always under the impression that any breaking change, even in a 0.x.x release, should be breaking. They should probably update the summary at the top to just give a blurb about this in my opinion for the MAJOR portion.

Your module is used by almost 2.3 million other modules, and it would probably be a shame that others would make the same mistake I just did, but that's on me (them) for not fully reading the spec I suppose. Its entirely up to you at this point if you want to version it as major just to possibly help mitigate that confusion, but you've answered my question so I'm going to close this. Thanks again for the quick response.
