alt Hacker News Ruff v0.16 has a small number of breaking changes
I sorta kinda get why `ty` is pre v1.0.0 -- it's a typechecker that doesn't check a huge number of types. But what are we waiting for with `ruff`? Surely it's eaten whatever the old options were (black? maybe a few takes on py+lint?) by now many times over, and is even more dominant than `uv`.
I run this program hundreds of times a day so I'm generally excited for new features, but I guess the OAI acquisition has made me ornery when it comes to these folks. Apologies to kindly nerds who made this release happen, and congrats <3

It's conventional for semver to allow breaking changes for 0.x minor releases (but not for patch releases).

Zerover for life
Why must my poor semver be hurt so!
It is fully according to their versioning policy:
https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/versioning/
But also compliant with semver:
Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
https://semver.org/
(Maybe I misinterpreted your remark, but semver does not get hurt.)
