"npm install --save" No Longer Using Tildes

Read Original

This article details a 2014 npm update where the default behavior of 'npm install --save' changed from using a tilde (~) to a caret (^) for versioning. It explains the semantic versioning (SemVer) differences: the tilde matches the most recent minor version, while the caret matches any version within the major version. It also covers the special case for major version zero (0.y.z) software.
