Semantic versioning

[pezra]

The last release included an incompatible change to JWT's interface which broke several of my projects. Any chance we could switch to semantic versioning so that consumers of this API don't unsuspectingly upgrade to incompatible versions?

Sounds good. Just requires me to pay more attention to PR before doing
releases. Ideas on process that can be automated?

Unfortunately, i have not found a good way to automate this. Sometimes an
"acceptance" test suite combined with CI can help. The idea being that if a
change to the library doesn't require a matching chance to the acceptance
suite then it is a patch version change; if it requires only an addition to
the acceptance suite the it is a minor version change; and if it requires a
modification of existing tests then it is a major version change. That is
not exactly automated but it does give one some hints about what should be
done.

Alright, semantic versioning from here on out. 0.1.12 was yanked and 1.0.0 was released.
