There are basically two ways we can do versioning of the
winit-*crates:There are many benefits to the first approach, including that we don't need to re-release unchanged crates for patch releases that only affect few crates, and that we might be able to re-use Winit crates between breaking changes of other crates (e.g. if
winit-corebecomes very stable).But the maintenance cost for us is also just quite high (there's a lot more combinations to test), and it makes it confusing for consumers to find the "mapping" between the main
winitcrate version and the platform-specific crate versions.We discussed it in our recent meeting, and came to the conclusion that we should go with a shared versioning scheme for simplicity for now, and only later have versions diverge if there's a concrete need.
