Wow, thanks a lot for all the detailed responses, @benwilson512, @Ankhers, and @michalmuskala – the concepts are much clearer to me now.
I suppose that minor versions (1.0, 1.1, etc.) are never expected to introduce breaking changes then. If I intend to publish an application for consumption by 3rd parties, it is good practice to always define its dependencies in the range format instead of targeting a single specific version?
