History dependency fixed at v1.12.3 in react-router 1.0.0-rc3

[dlwalsh]

The latest release of react-router (v1.0.0-rc3) sets the history dependency version at "1.12.3".

Is there a reason for mandating "1.12.3" as opposed to "^1.12.3"?

I like to stay on top of the latest releases. I'm having no issues using the latest version of history (v1.12.5), other than the npm errors.

How are you hitting NPM errors? NPM's fine with libraries having incompatible subdependencies.

It looks like we might switch to a peer dependency for the final release, according to #2211. And if we do that, we'll go full semver and not lock to a specific version.

In the meantime, as long as you pass in your own history to <Router>, it will use it and that can be whatever version works best for you.

@mjackson What do you think of changing the dependency to ~1.12.3 or ^1.12.3? Not sure if caret range is okay - is there a risk of accidentally adding new features if history does a minor bump? Actually probably not.

@taion As long as we add the peer dep we're ok, right? I think we can just use ~1. I'm not planning on introducing any breaking changes without a major version bump.
