netcore-boilerplate VS semver

Below note is based on Dependabot - Fetch Metadata Action. Up-to-date code/version could be found in my repo here.

I develop a dotnet web api and I use a Boilerplate as a reference. So I saw that there are cancellation tokens and that they're used to cancel long running async operations. So after googling and reading about it, I mostly saw this topic regarding MVC.

Semantic Versioning: for every update (major, minor, or patch) made, increment the version number according to semantic versioning.

npm automates the process of installing, updating, and managing dependencies, which helps to avoid "dependency hell." It supports semantic versioning (semver) that automatically handles patch and minor updates without breaking the existing code, thus maintaining stability across projects. npm also provides the capability to run scripts and commands defined in package.json, which can automate common tasks such as testing, building, and deployment.

We are pleased to introduce Semantic Versioning and release channels to Snyk CLI from v.1.1291.0 onwards. In this blog post, we will share why we are introducing these changes, what problems these changes solve for our customers, and how our customers can opt-in according to their needs.

Following the Semantic Versioning rules, you should raise the version number every time you need to publish your library. In your "package.json" file, you need to change the version number to reflect whether the changes are major, minor, or patch updates.

Semantic Versioning: An established convention for version numbers following the pattern MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Increases the major of the latest tag and prints it As per the Semver spec, it'll also clear the pre-release…

The reason for this is that software libraries and package managers, in general, but specifically here, rely on semantic versioning. Semantic versioning is really useful for distributing packages in a predictable way. What does this look like for our project?

I believe neovim follows semantic versioning. https://semver.org/

Semver has been 2.0.0 for 10 years, look at the date of the assets. Multiple releases created today where none existed before. Not sure why someone is creating releases now, perhaps just some housekeeping/cleanup.
