Handling Breaking Changes in a Design System Without Causing Chaos, by @shaunbent@social.design.systems (@zeroheight@mastodon.social):

Follow on from yesterday, I finally got a custom package to install via NPM... kinda.
The important thing is that it works fully as intended; now to refine and refactor the process, and hopefully have it deploying correctly (privately hosted FYI).

Screenshot of the cargo-semver-check v0.44.0 release page. It touts 22 new lints, for a total of 200 lints! In celebration, it includes an adorable animation of Ferris standing alongside a conveyor belt which transports crates off an assembly line. Each crate passes through a cargo-semver-checks scanning station, which applies a "PASS" or "FAIL" sticker to it. It seems like a crate has just failed SemVer checking! Ferris picks it off the conveyor belt, and throws it into a hopper labeled "Revise". This is how all crates being shipped uphold SemVer! All is well.
cargo-semver-checks v0.44.0 is live — we've hit 200 lints ✨

- I'm tired of the fact that in 3 steps of your documentation I will find 7 issues and will have to *fight* to make it fixed.
- I'm tired of the hype driven versioning where #SemVer is used incorrectly by 90% of the software and rest 10% don't even has CHANGELOG.md.
- I'm tired of having to have […]

When #semver isn't enough
Tip 89 of #TuesdayCodingTips - Semantic versioning
When creating a library, semantic versioning is a really useful versioning scheme to use.
It's a promise to your users that changes bumping the minor/patch version numbers are backward-compatible. As such, much of the software relies on these […]

#semver for food recipes:
- increase major for changes in recipe that change the final product.
- increase minor when clarifications or new steps added to reduce ambiguity that improve the process.
- increase patch for spelling fixes and rewording that improve readability.
If a software package release contains bug fixes and deprecations, do the deprecations make it a minor release (i.e., new, additive features release), or is it still a patch-level release (i.e., bug fixes only), since there are no new features?
In other words, are deprecations new features? […]
OK last Python post today but this is serious, you guys: the current Python version is 3.13 – are you telling me the next minor-increment is just going to be posted without a reference to the infamous number it approximates? What plans are there for π-thon? I must know.

Wenn Scholzen, Merkeln 2.0.0 ist, da würde schon gern wissen was die großen Änderungen sind. Und gab es breaking changes?
Oder ists doch eher 1.1.0?
#semver
I 100% agree. Here's something funny:
@openlibertyio.bsky.social uses 24.0.0.3, 24.0.0.12.
Now, one external developer thought that was only a new build of the same version (major.minor.patch.<build>). Had a funny conversation that not all software use #SemVer 😅
PS: Idk why they insert noughts.
This episode of #OpenSourceSecurity talks to @predr.ag about cargo-semver-checks
it's a #Rust tool that can help you figure out if you broke #semver
We also touch on the difficulty of detecting breaking changes, sustainable open source, and what's to come for semver checking
I tested Authentik. So far I am satisfied. Keycloak, dex and other IDP's made me dissatisfied. As a dev I just dont like the container image taging, please use semver so I can pin major versions.

Is it just me, or does Semantic Versioning feel more like a guideline than a strict rule in many open source projects? Breaking changes in patch versions, features in minor updates…
#SemVer
I'm glad we've mostly abandoned incremental sequencing (i.e. v1.2 -> v1.21 -> v1.211 -> v1.3) and what I want to call the ten-point system (i.e. v1.9.8 -> v1.9.9 -> v2.0.0, where each decimal point is a number between 0 and 9). #SemVer

A change being applied to a Rust Cargo.toml file. An optional dependency called `mock_instant` ("mock underscore instant") is being removed, and a feature called `mock-instant` ("mock dash instant") is changed to no longer enable the `mock_instant` ("mock underscore instant") feature. The problem is a lot more obvious when I make the spelling explicit, isn't it? :)
cargo-semver-checks found the problem in this change, saving the project from breaking SemVer. Manifest linting for the win! 🔥
Do you see the breaking change?
#rust #rustlang #semver
Manifest linting in cargo-semver-checks means we also have a path toward catching breakage in *future Rust functionality*!
Take the RFC on package supported targets for example. We'll be able to catch "target no longer supported" breakage!
