Golden Rule
If you change something that forces your users to modify their code to keep it working, you MUST increment the MAJOR version.
Pre-releases
You can add suffixes for unstable versions: 1.0.0-alpha.1 or 2.0.0-rc.2.
0.y.z
Initial development. Anything can change at any time.
Logic
Avoids "Dependency Hell".
Automatable
Tools can decide whether to update based on the range.
