@matildalove @wyatt I too have used date-based version numbering for some projects. It works well for things with a regular release cadence, such as semiannual tracks of Ubuntu and Windows 10 and 11. It's good for some cases but has drawbacks for others.
- Library users prefer SemVer, which increases the first part on a breaking change.
- Software subject to a service level agreement tends to increase the first part when licensees of the previous version must pay for an upgrade.
