Frequently asked questions

What is semantic versioning?

A MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH scheme where major breaks compatibility, minor adds features, and patch fixes bugs, optionally with prerelease and build tags.

What does ^1.2.3 allow?

The caret allows updates that do not change the leftmost non-zero digit, so ^1.2.3 permits >=1.2.3 and <2.0.0.

How are prerelease versions ordered?

A prerelease like 1.0.0-alpha sorts before its release 1.0.0, and prerelease identifiers are compared field by field.
