semantic_version

A utility for comparing semantic version numbers (see: http://semver.org).

Usage

Initialize a new SemanticVersion object with SemanticVersion[] or SemanticVersion.new().

SemanticVersion objects may be compared against strings or other SemanticVersion objects using standard operators: ==, >, >=, <, <=.

SemanticVersion objects also have an is method for comparing against strings or other SemanticVersion objects.

Available operators for use with the is method:

• eq or equal_to returns true if versions are equivalent; false otherwise
• lt or less_than returns true if SemanticVersion is less than comparison version; false otherwise
• lte or less_than_or_equal_to returns true if SemanticVersion is less than or equal to comparison version; false otherwise
• gt or greater_than returns true if SemanticVersion is greater than comparison version; false otherwise
• gte or greater_than_or_equal_to returns true if SemanticVersion is greater than or equal to comparison version; false otherwise
• between returns true if SemanticVersion falls between two comparison versions; false otherwise
• within returns true if SemanticVersion falls within the range of two comparison versions (inclusive); false otherwise
• any_of returns true if SemanticVersion is equivalent to any of the versions in a list; false otherwise

Examples:

version_a = SemanticVersion["1.0"]
version_b = SemanticVersion["2.0"]
version_a < version_b                                              #=> true

SemanticVersion["2.5.0"] == "2.5"                                  #=> true

SemanticVersion["2.5.0"] > "2.5.0-beta"                            #=> true

SemanticVersion["3.2.0-beta"].is gt: "3.2.0-alpha", lt: "3.2.0-rc" #=> true

SemanticVersion["5.6.2"].is between: ["5.6.0", "5.6.4"]            #=> true

SemanticVersion["2.2.48"].is any_of: ["2.2.2", "2.2.48", "3.8.0"]  #=> true

SemanticVersion["1.0.0-rc+1234"] == "1.0.0-rc+6789"                #=> true
