Was going to comment that sem versioning is much older than that, e.g., if I remember correctly version 6 and 7 (early 90s) used semver. Turns out that oracle also switched to year based versioning, thought it was still semver: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/upgrd/oracle-database-release-numbers.html#GUID-1E2F3945-C0EE-4EB2-A933-8D1862D8ECE2 https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/1...
Indeed confusing…
- goku12 3y agoI started coding before semver was defined. There was no official name (so nothing to search with) and people had a vague idea about how to do it. That ambiguity meant that everyone did it differently and sometimes completely wrongly. The single name 'semver' and the document attached to it was a silent revolution. So many tools we take for granted (like cargo) are designed around it.
