Please at least assume compliance with semver.org which says 0.x version indicates development version and there is no guarantee minor versions don't break compatibility. So for 0.x version libraries even minor versions should be treated similar to major versions. Only when upstream has at least 1.0 release or higher we can assume backward compatible minor versions.
So please test all reverse (build) dependencies and file bugs if any breaks, wait for at least 2 weeks to give time for fixes (or fix them) and then only upload to unstable.
