If you need something stable, wait until a bit after 1.0, like you would with any Windows release. Right now it's expected that things will change and break with language updates, but the next one is the 1.0 which is the "we stop breaking things now"

That's what I was told about 0.4 -> 0.5 last year.

By who? Someone who isn't part of the development team? There was an issue set for v0.5 called "Arraypocolypse" that was meant to change a ton of things related to arrays, and that was known months (a year?) before v0.5 was out. Semvar is used for a reason: pre-1.0 is all breaking.

People on gitter, IIRC... I'm sure there's a record of it somewhere. Half the packages I wanted to use were still on 0.4, half were on 0.5, and the combination was incompatible.
