Semver about ol2 HOT 3 CLOSED

I like SemVer. I also think we can be more consistent in what we
expose as the public API. I'm not entirely clear about what you think
would be easier if we had patch releases. It is our intention not to
break API compatibility until 3.x. I grant that we are very
inconsistent about what we mark as "public," and it is very easy to
work with the library in a way that would make upgrades hard.

I'm curious if you'd suggest that the change you ran into would have
warranted a 3.0.0 release. What was it?

Is there any possibility of version 3 of OpenLayers being 3.0.0, and adopting semver for versioning? I've recently been a bit hit by API breakage between 2.10 and 2.11 - minor APIs that might not even be considered public, but nevertheless were difficult to deal with, and the possibility of having more standard ways to notify users when they'll need code updates (and have easier patch versions) might be nifty for OL.

The problem I ran into was that 2.10 used imgDiv for the images in Image-based layers, whereas this appears to be wrapped in frame with the advent of 2.11. Specifically, I need to figure out the tile grid layout, which isn't exposed in a simple way in the API - so it's a matter of brute-force determination.

Ah. Thanks for the additional detail. Let's work on a more sensible way to provide what you want (the grid layout).
