December 2025 — Moj Frontend (ministryofjustice/moj-frontend): Stabilized release semantics by correcting a semantic-versioning misclassification in the release process. This effort prevented an incorrect major version bump and involved re-releasing prior changes as a major version with an explicit BREAKING CHANGE note, aligning the history with semantic versioning and safeguarding downstream deployments. The change enhances release governance, traceability, and customer confidence in upgrade paths.
