The biggest advantage of sticking with semantic versioning is it's wide-spread use in the industry, with maven, and in the open source community. For example, IIUC, maven will allow a dependency upgrade at the minor version level but not at the major version level (when there are two dependency chains leading to different versions of the same artifact). -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/HEADS-UP-Discussion-Artemis-Planning-a-release-soon-tp4700793p4701053.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
