Nuxt Fontaine redundant compatibility version?

I looked up at fontaine's Nuxt compat here and it says

meta: {
  configKey: 'fontMetrics',
  name: '@nuxtjs/fontaine',
  compatibility: {
    nuxt: '>=3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0',
  },
},

meta: {
  configKey: 'fontMetrics',
  name: '@nuxtjs/fontaine',
  compatibility: {
    nuxt: '>=3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0',
  },
},

The current semver range >=3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 is redundant since >=3.0.0-rc.6 already includes all versions of v4.x.x and higher. This can be simplified to just >=3.0.0-rc.6. However, if the intent is to only support v3 and v4, consider using ^3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 instead to properly bound the major versions. What do you think?

Hi @TheSadMidDeveloper. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- You're correct in your analysis of the compatibility version range for the Nuxt Fontaine module. Let's break this down: 1. The current range >=3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 is indeed redundant, as you pointed out. The >=3.0.0-rc.6 part already covers all versions from 3.0.0-rc.6 and above, including all of version 4. 2. If the intent is to support all versions from 3.0.0-rc.6 onwards without any upper bound, then simplifying it to just >=3.0.0-rc.6 would be correct and more concise. 3. However, if the module maintainers want to explicitly support only versions 3 and 4, then your suggestion of ^3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 would be more appropriate. This range would cover all 3.x and 4.x versions, but exclude any potential future 5.x versions. The choice between these options depends on the module's compatibility goals: - If they want to ensure compatibility with all future Nuxt versions, >=3.0.0-rc.6 is sufficient. - If they want to limit support to versions 3 and 4 explicitly, ^3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 is better. It's worth noting that Nuxt has a consistent release cycle and versioning policy. According to the Nuxt Roadmap (https://nuxt.com/docs/community/roadmap#release-cycle), they aim for major framework releases every year, following semver. Given this information, it might be prudent for module maintainers to explicitly specify the major versions they support. Your suggestion to use ^3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 aligns well with this versioning strategy, as it clearly defines support for both Nuxt 3 and the upcoming Nuxt 4, while allowing for an explicit update when Nuxt 5 is released in the future. In conclusion, your analysis is correct, and your suggested version range ^3.0.0-rc.6 || ^4.0.0 seems to be the most appropriate choice for clearly defining compatibility with Nuxt 3 and 4 while allowing for future updates when new major versions are released. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
