Recently excellent package DataFrames.jl arrived at version 1.0.0 (today it is v1.1.0), which make me wonder about time that such development takes. Complaining about not having it sooner, when you have such excellent, open, free software at your fingertips is just wicked, immoral, depraved indecen…

v1 is arbitrary. It means that the author thinks the interface will churn less frequently

For comparison, the Pandas python package released version 0.3 in 2011 and version 1.0 in 2020.

This discussion has been had many times, including not all that long ago. [image] Getting to 1.0 -- How can we get packages to "make that tag"? Community So many core packages in the Julia community, such as DataFrames are still pre-1.0 well after they have become ubiquit…

Thank you for pointing these out. I read quite a lot topics on this forum, but even with search there’s just too much to know and find everything, is you don’t have good keywords.

I know that it is arbitrary. Maybe this is effect of my being teached heavily to do everything to not break others code, that I feel deep unease when I need to use package with version 0.x.y. Excluding situation that I’m among people that develop version 0.x.y, if being tester count as developer.

I understand that feeling well. I’m reluctant to update dependencies because it is often a waste of time adapting code to changed APIs. I suppose my point was that there is no objective measure of code maturity. Following semver rules can inhibit declaring v1 for otherwise production level code.
