Consider using semantic versioning or similar #603

Closed

Description

@yeikel

Currently, the project seems to be using its own versioning scheme that seems to be a semantic-like versioning scheme

However, as it does not meet the semantic spec, it does not allow us to use semantic-aware tools such as Dependabot configuration options

For example, it would allow us to do things like

ignore:
  - dependency-name: "io.github.oshai:kotlin-logging-jvm"
    update-types: ["version-update:semver-patch"]

Rather than 8.0.03, It would be nice, if you could just release using the format 8.0.3 in the future. While the versions look very similar, one is semantic(8.0.3) while the other is not.

See: https://semver.org/

    yes you're correct I will try to do it in the future versions.

    Thank you so much for taking the feedback, and even more importantly, for addressing it so quickly. I already noticed that you released 8.0.4 following the spec.
