The package maintenance group requires that supported packages follow the issued npm best practices. Most packages that receive help are expected to already be following this guidance. However if a package is not already on a major semver release number we recommend on bumping up to version 1.0.0 on the next semver major release.
- Increasing the minimum required version of node is a breaking change and should be accompanied by major semver change.
- release notes, in at least one of or possibly all of: in the commit message that bumps the version; in a changelog file in the version bump commit; in the tag annotation for the semver-tagged published commit.
