Hi,

I have new idea for my created node. But it maybe have many change, such as separate a node to new created node package. Moreover, it maybe seprate some input in a created node, to new a created node.

So, it maybe many changed features.

Should I have big change in my created node?

Please advise me.

Thank you in advance.

I think that the main thing is to be clear to your potential users whether a change has breaking consequences. So it helps if you are careful about using semantic versioning. Breaking changes should result in a new major version number.

Obviously, it is best to reduce the number of breaking changes since it may block your users from continuing updates until they can find time and energy to do an update with changes.
