Good suggestions. Historically, Setuptools has not followed semver. I intend for Setuptools to start to follow semver (at least in spirit) starting with 0.7.

Thanks for the links. I expected something more massive, but as people said there appeared to be a plenty of releases over this period, so MERGE.txt covers my needs,
Major number increments mean that some features are added according to semver.org and even without it it is convenient to read about features separately from fixes.
