Original author here. I wanted to clearly indicate early-prealpha-unstable-not-for-production-yet state of this software. Using "1.0.0" and even "1.0.0-alpha" would give false expectations about maturity of this project.
- crabbone 3y agoThis was more of a stab at "semantic" part of the semantic versioning (which similar to <div> in semantic Web... found its own semantics that don't follow from its definitions). You are definitely not the only one using it like this. I believe this is the problem with the format of semantic version which seem to assume that releases only happen to software ready to be... released :) My preferred course of action in such situations is not specify a version at all.

- crabbone 3y agoThat's a contradiction. You cannot release a software that you didn't release. :) If you release it, it has to start with version one. Zero is for non-released versions.
