If anything, calendar version is superior here because you can tell when it was updated (and if it follows modern conventions, techniques, etc.)

yeah is 1.7 a very stable 1.x or a very immature 2.x? what is 0.7 then? and 2.0?

can't answer one and the other consistently.

it's great for compatibility level, and that's that.

Indeed, React got to version 0.14.x before the major number became 15 after a total of three years since the first public release.

what would be a more reliable way to know?

Look at the following:

- Number of commits.

- Number of open issues.

- Number of closed issues.

- How they respond to issues.

- Are the commit messages descriptive?

- Is the codebase a mess or does it look reasonable?
