I'm not sure how Ivy has decided on its version numbers in the past, but for Ant we've never followed semantic versioning that strictly. In particular we've created lots of micro releases that contained new features and most of the time created minor versions when we changed JDK requirements. In a sense we've shifted semantic versioning to the right and never created major releases (and neither pure bugfix releases), maybe because Ant2 could bring up some ghosts of the far past. :-) As much as I like semantic versioning (and use it in other projects), I'd prefer to stay consistent with the way versions have been used in prior releases.
