Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/813
It's long been common practice to leave the "patch" number off when it's zero, for instance "1.5" or "2.0", because it's more attractive in public-facing material. Is this prohibited in SemVer? And could this be added to the FAQ?
@ljharb commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2022):
It is not a semver version unless it has three numbers; some things will take
1.5to imply1.5.0, others will take it to imply1.5.x, which are distinctly different results.@Calorion commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2022):
I see. Could that be added to the FAQ?
@ljharb commented on GitHub (Mar 10, 2022):
I’m not a maintainer here, but i suspect that a PR to add that, which is explicitly left open for as long as it takes before it’s merged (years, even), would be the best path to that outcome.

@Calorion It'd take some time to be merged but feel free to send a PR.
