Research direction

Review the changelog entries for versions 2.3.0 through 2.5.1 and the discussion in issue #54, then trace how package version changes are decided. Done means reaching a decision on semantic-version handling for breaking changes and how those changes should be communicated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

@forki The change log clearly states that the changes are breaking:

2.5.1
  • BREAKING: use NetInfo from react-native-netinfo
2.5.0
2.4.1
  • BREAKING: use ToolbarAndroid from @react-native-community/toolbar-android
2.3.0
  • BREAKING: Put onActionSelected into properties of ToolbarAndroid

Yet there is no single update in the major version? This still ties up to #54 where now we not even considering communicating how version changes affect user code
