A library for parsing and comparing software version numbers. We like to give
version numbers to our software in a myriad of ways. Some ways follow strict
guidelines for incrementing and comparison. Some follow conventional wisdom and
are generally self-consistent. Some are just plain asinine. This library
provides a means of parsing and comparing /any/ style of versioning, be it a
nice Semantic Version like this:
> 1.2.3-r1+git123
...or a monstrosity like this:
> 2:10.2+0.0093r3+1-1
Please switch to <http://semver.org Semantic Versioning> if you aren't
currently using it. It provides consistency in version incrementing and has the
best constraints on comparisons.
This library implements version '2.0.0' of the SemVer spec.
