Tilde(~) vs Caret(^) in composer
在 composer.json 經常看到 caret(^) 跟 tilde(~) 開頭的套件版號，雖然很少會遇到需要調整的情況但有需要都會忘記，紀錄一下不然每次都要查
先講結論
- Always use caret(^) instead of tilde(~)
npmis in the same rule
細節
一般情況
# ~
~1.0 means >=1.0.0 <2.0.0 same as 1.*
~1.0.0 means >=1.0.0 <1.1.0 same as 1.0.*
# ^
^1.0 means >=1.0.0 <2.0.0 same as 1.*
^1.0.0 means >=1.0.0 <2.0.0 same as 1.*
特殊情況
版號為 0.y.z 的狀況：依照語意化版號的標準，在 0.y.z 時都算是 under development，不應被視為 stable
# Might break backward compatibility
~0.2 means >=0.2.0 <1.0.0
# This is fine
~1.2 means >=1.2.0 <2.0.0
# workaround
0.2.* means >=0.2.0 <0.3.0
# Solve it in simple way
^0.2 means >=0.2.0 <0.3.0
