New releases increases on semantic patch version

[iamNoah1]

I'm curious why new releases are only increasing the patch version, implying that they only fix something. Instead, they qualify as minor, maybe even major releases IMHO as they contain a lot of new features. Thus, I would expect this to be reflected in the semantic version number accordingly.

To be honest, I don't follow semantic versioning rules at all - I just increment the numbers somewhat arbitrarily. I probably should be more systematic about it, but for now I'm just bumping versions as I go without too much thought about what constitutes a major, minor or patch change.

To some effect I'm trying to keep versioning like this before a proper v1.0.0 where then I would follow it more closely.

This was started before I understood the convention and I kept it as I went along.

In fairness to you, the semver spec says anything 0.y.z is considered unstable and that anything can change at any time. Essentially, it’s within spec not to follow the spec until an official 1.0.0 release.

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback :)
