lizmat: do you have an opinion on what the default api value for a newly published module should be, if any? 21:30
i believe since that's one of the possible entries for a module id it ought to be defined. the other three have a default when constructed. 21:33
disbot <antononcube> For my Raku packages I use api<0>. if I am not sure about the functions / subs names and signatures. If the design of those becomes stable, I use api<1>. 22:05
<antononcube> For some packages, from the very beginning I am sure about the design, hence, their first published versions have api<1>. 22:06

ugexe what i would suggest (although i havent started doing this myself) is to use :api as what you would consider the major version, and :version to be the rest of the version. this lets you do like :api<1>:version<2.0+> which has the advantage of not applying the + to :api. so you could still get patch updates via + without always bringing in breaking changes like :version<1.2.0+> does 22:21

tbrowder that's interesting, and i notice many auths stay at :ver<0.x.y> for many years. 22:57
sorry, i just noticed 'version' instead of 'ver'... 22:59
i think i'll start with :api<0> and the user can proceed in any upward direction. 23:01
lizmat yeah, the people preferring :ver versus :version should have been kicked in the butt :-) (I think it was me, but maybe not :-) 23:09
