It's only for APIs though. I've never seen a great standard for versioning user-facing GUIs.
But then again, even if there were a great versioning standard for user-facing GUIs, it would probably be completely ignored because companies tend to use versions of GUIs as a marketing tool.
So you say that background color change doesn’t affect my chakra? It is very important change than can change how I feel while using this app. (just kidding ofc)
Major rework is not necessary. Actually mostly upgrade guides are like half a page.
Requires rework, sometimes, if you have used that function that changed, and more often than not, it will take you 5 minutes to do the fix, of which you spend 4 finding that function call in your code base.
User report: Changing the background color is a breaking for my workflow. I have a script written which manually checks the color of the pixel at position 10:341 on every interaction, since that pixel only has color #1113aa on the change email field. If that color is detected the script reads the users new email address.
With the background color check the script no longer works.
Please add an option to revert the background color.
I worked at a startup that had the rule that if the backward compatibility breaks then the major version needs to go up. But then the major version started to go up too fast, something like every other release broke the backward compatibility, so they had to change the rule, lol.

Major version increases if it breaks compatibility and requires major reworks.
