Sigh... upstream claims to follow semver but then notes in the changelog for 0.11.0:

"There are bunch of API changes with this release so don't expect backwards compatibility with previous versions."

and

"Beware that since this release is pretty much a rewrite, there are bound to be some bugs. To be safe, you should consider this release beta software and throughly test your integration of it before using it in production environments."

Moreover there has not been any bug fix releases since 0.11.0 on 25 April and 0.11.1 on 26 April, and I'm not confident that the project is still actively maintained by its author given the state of its Github issue tracker.

So I am wondering if it's really a good idea to bump this package to 0.11.1 or not...

Comment 3 Dan Callaghan 2015-09-01 05:05:56 UTC
This version also introduces a bunch of new unpackaged build dependencies (grunt modules). So I am going to call this WONTFIX for now. If in future it turns out that 0.11 is needed for some other projects and/or upstream shows more signs of life, I will re-open.
