Issue ID: 20977
Summary: Move phobos to semver
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
Reporter: john.michael.hall at gmail.com
As part of the discussion on the forum here:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.4131.1593034661.31109.digitalmars-d@puremagic.com
there was a discussion that it would be a good thing to move phobos to semver
(semantic versioning).
Some reasons that motivate this change are:
1) The release schedule for phobos is linked to that of DMD. Improvements in
phobos must wait until a DMD release.
2) The version of phobos is linked to that of DMD. In other words, it is
difficult to use a new version of the compiler and an old version of phobos.
3) Improve use of phobos as a dub package
4) Make it easier to change phobos API
5) Reduce risk of breakage
