Is there a reason winit uses image = "0.20.1" rather than image = "~0.20.1"?

The latter would allow image 0.20.2, etc to be used in case there's ever dependency updates. ^0.20.1 would do the same, I think.

ggez habitually just specifies image 0.20 or whatever, so I'm already having nightmares of a user pulling a hypothetical image 0.20.2 and ggez mysteriously failing to build because of it. Specifying ggez to use image 0.20.1 precisely is the simple solution, was just wondering if we could do better.

Thanks!

From the cargo reference manual specifying a dependency without any symbol prefix, as "x.y.z" is equivalent to "^x.y.z".

As such running cargo update should be enough to grab a newer semver-commpatible version of image.

...shoot, I keep forgetting that and thinking that when it's fully specified it's the same as "=x.y.z"
