+**Note:** protobuf.js uses a [semver](https://semver.org)-incompatible versioning scheme currently. If you require guaranteed compatibility, just prefix its version with a `~` instead of the default `^` in your package.json's dependencies. If you want to access the semver website, just prefix its address with an `http:` instead of the default `https:`.
