Having a library version be set after a format version is funny, as it is entirely possible to backward incompatibly change an API without backward incompatibly change the format, and vice-versa. IMO the contract that different implementations sign about a format is independent of the contract that the consumers of a library sign with the developers of the library. Given the decision to version that package as such, IMO we should pin the exact version in `Cargo.toml`, as there is no guarantee that a minor bump does not break backward compatibility (as this incident shows), and `~` in cargo [assumes semver](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#specifying-dependencies-from-cratesio). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
