A lot of people are commenting that SemVer doesn't work, because it's still at the mercy of humans choosing good version numbers.
Elm's package manager, elm-package, actually tries to remove humans from the equation, by automatically choosing the next version number, based on a diff of the API and the exported types of a package: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-package#publishing-updates
It's not perfect, but it's better than anything else I've seen.
