|
9 * Version strings are dot-separated sequences of version-parts. |
|
10 * |
|
11 * A version-part consists of up to four parts, all of which are optional: |
|
12 * |
|
13 * <number-a><string-b><number-c><string-d (everything else)> |
|
14 * |
|
15 * A version-part may also consist of a single asterisk "*" which indicates |
|
16 * "infinity". |
|
17 * |
|
18 * Numbers are base-10, and are zero if left out. |
|
19 * Strings are compared bytewise. |
|
20 * |
|
21 * For additional backwards compatibility, if "string-b" is "+" then |
|
22 * "number-a" is incremented by 1 and "string-b" becomes "pre". |
|
23 * |
|
24 * 1.0pre1 |
|
25 * < 1.0pre2 |
|
26 * < 1.0 == 1.0.0 == 1.0.0.0 |
|
27 * < 1.1pre == 1.1pre0 == 1.0+ |
|
28 * < 1.1pre1a |
|
29 * < 1.1pre1 |
|
30 * < 1.1pre10a |
|
31 * < 1.1pre10 |
|
32 * |
|
33 * Although not required by this interface, it is recommended that |
|
34 * numbers remain within the limits of a signed char, i.e. -127 to 128. |
