I would like to know, if e.g. 0.1.0 is already stable concerning a composer install.
I am familar with the SemVer Tags and I know, that the API can change with every realease which is not the first major (1.0.0) but still: the tag is a fixed state of the project.

So, will composer consider such a tag as stable or not?

From a semantic versioning perspective, it is not stable. However, Composer will treat (almost) all tags as having stability "stable".

Good to know: the ^ operator behaves very similarly to the ~ operator but it sticks closer to semantic versioning, and will always allow non-breaking updates. For example ^1.2.3 is equivalent to >=1.2.3 <2.0.0 as none of the releases until 2.0 should break backwards compatibility. For pre-1.0 versions it also acts with safety in mind and treats ^0.3 as >=0.3.0 <0.4.0.
