Note that the use of major.minor.revision actually predates the formal SemVer specification by something like 20 years.<p>That doesn&#x27;t mean you&#x27;re wrong; but it does explain the confusion. I&#x27;m a fan of Scala but I&#x27;ll admit I was confused by this as well when getting started with it since I&#x27;ve been trained to see everything after the first decimal as &quot;minor&quot;.
