> Did I miss anything? I don't think we closed on this (I had to leave the meeting a little early) but a remaining question is how to version what we (and users) call "Cordova". Assuming a "Cordova" version is a point in time collection of the latest CLI version + platform versions + plugin versions. Is the Cordova version semver (using what algorithm with respect to its contained components) or is that what you meant by ""latest as of Oct 2014" or something".

Summary of current proposal: - Cad-ver is dead. - Everything moves Sem-ver, with platforms continuing from current versions and diverging over time. - CLI potentially gets a significant version bump to showcase this reset (to 5.0 or 10.0, not yet settled) - Pinning default platform versions *will* continue for the time being, but it will be trivial to override the default. - Platforms will have CLI <engine> tag equivalent (unclear yet if as node peerDependency or otherwise) so devs will know when they need to upgrade/downgrade CLI for non-default platform versions. - After a platform update, eventually CLI will release to "pin" the new default, and bump its PATCH/MINOR version (unless CLI had a functional update at same time that requires a larger bump). - After you update CLI, your existing projects don't change & platform upgrades remain explicit, but you will now get warnings if your installed platforms are older than the CLI pinned versions. - Event MAJOR changes to platforms are not MAJOR updates to the CLI, unless there is an actual breaking change to the CLI tool (i.e. new CLI will no longer work with the currently installed platform). - Platform and CLI docs have to split out and be released & versioned alongside each (like plugins). Cross references from one to the other will only be needed in a few places. Note: The CLI-Platform compatibility story is functionally no different than we have today. If you upgrade your CLI and there is a breaking change, you will have to re-create your projects or downgrade CLI again. Now we plan to be more explicit about it and offer warnings. Note: There is no concept of a "fancy-pants" release other than to say "latest as of Oct 2014" or something. Platforms don't have a single common set of functionality, so CadVer was somewhat misleading already in that sense. We could introduce a concept of "API Level" for exec bridge or something for use by plugins, but not sure that has value. What wasn't covered that came to mind after the fact: - When there is an update available for CLI, should we give a warning to update? (this is useful, but isn't common for npm modules. I think we already do this from plugman when you try to publish plugins?).
