I ran `magit-version` and I got Magit 20201225.4, which I assume is the 2020 Christmas edition of Magit. Did they suddenly switch to semver?

You are probably using melpa instead of melpa stable (like most, I assume). In melpa, all packages use the yyyymmdd.x type of versioning. In melpa stable packages use semver.

Have a look:
