Versioning
This project adheres to Semantic Versioning (SemVer).
However, due to the nature of eslint-markdown as a Markdown quality tool, it's not always clear when a minor or major version bump occurs. To help clarify this for everyone, we've defined the following semantic versioning policy for eslint-markdown.
According to our policy, any minor update may report more linting errors than the previous release (ex: from a bug fix). As such, we recommend using the tilde (~) in package.json e.g. "eslint-markdown": "~1.1.0" to guarantee the results of your builds.
WARNING: Active 0.x Development
eslint-markdown is currently in active 0.x development, so minor releases may include Breaking Changes until it reaches 1.0.0.
