Switching from CalVer to SemVer is problematic as some distribution management software will not understand that 1.7.0
is newer than 2021.11.06
, take Debian for example where all version comparisons are done in SemVer manner.
https://github.com/lindenb/makefile2graph/pull/34 would be good to get in a release too
calver seems to have been introduced in 2018 however the binary continues to self-report the version as 1.5 (see M2G_VERSION)

Maybe then it's just roll forward with calver? In any case, a new release would be great
@lindenb if you want me to help out cutting a release feel free to give me appropriate access and I will action

This wouldn't be the first project to do such a versioning scheme change; distros already have tools/mechanisms to handle that.

You are right, this is doable, although it involves some additional work on distro side.
Could you tag a new stable release so that distributions like homebrew can pick up the new features recently added?
Suggestions:
M2G_VERSION
v1.2.0
v1.5.0
v1.6.0
v1.7.0
