I apologize for not really commenting on the content of the release, but I am shocked that it is on version 0.59.

I wonder why they even bother with supposedly following semver at this point. 0.59? This seems to mean they can break anything at any point and it's technically still "following semver". I guess I just don't understand it. This library is used by thousands and consumed by millions (billions?). Why not just use dates as versions?

Below 1.0.0, a minor release counts as a major one. So technically, 0.59 is a major upgrade from 0.58.
