NPM Publishing Test

This is a simple project, to test what happens in different scenarios when you publish to NPM. So you know in advanced what kind of behavior is allowed.

Results

• You can only publish each version once.
• You can publish any version at any time.
• The tag (latest/etc) is what you most recently published (not the highest version).
