I would say more correctly that NPM doesn't keep track of the version, not that it isn't able to. Many git tags are version numbers, NPM just doesn't parse them

- Navarr 12y agoPHP's Composer does this properly, so it's surprising that NPM doesn't.
- xorcist 12y agoNot really. Nobody would need private modules if it did, and they need some monetization strategy.
