Just use ISO dating. 20210122, add letters at the end if there was multiple release that day.

This is psychologically better because your opensource project won't be stuck on v0.14 for 12 years like some are.

If you’ve made no changes that require incrementing the version number, using a date based version will be no different, except people will know at first glance that it hasn’t changed in 12 years.
