UnverifiedSemVer is only a convention rather than mandatory, and when dependencies are indirectly upgraded, behavioral differences can still be introduced, so it is recommended to run tests even for patch updates.77% similarUnverifiedMature libraries usually follow semantic versioning (SemVer), introducing breaking changes only when the major version number increases, and giving users a buffer period through deprecation warnings.76% similarUnverifiedIn the SemVer specification, a minor version increment represents backward-compatible feature additions or performance improvements, so upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1 means existing users can upgrade smoothly without interface breakage74% similarUnverifiedThe SemVer specification allows projects still in the 0.x stage to include breaking changes in any minor version update.73% similarPartially VerifiedAccording to SemVer convention, a patch version contains only backward-compatible bug fixes or internal dependency adjustments and introduces no breaking changes, so existing users can upgrade directly with relative confidence.73% similar
