At the moment I am building separate binaries to target each runtime

  • .net 4
  • Windows Phone
  • Silverlight

Now if I move the library over to be a single Portable Class Library, and I am not changing the functionality, is this considered a breaking change?

Or in SemVer terms is it a major, minor or patch version change?

    I would say this is a minor version change because code which links against your library is now subject to some specific whims of the PCL:

    When you deploy a .NET Framework 4 application that references a Portable Class Library assembly, you must specify a dependency on the .NET Framework 4 update. By specifying this dependency, you ensure that the update is installed with your application.

    Also, if you have exposed certain Framework types, consumers of the code may need to change.
