And what about 1.0.0b2? Wouldn't you expect that to be greater than 1.0.0b? The problem with trying to implement one comparison algorithm is that there are so many different versioning formats in use (at least, within the suffix part) that it's nearly impossible to do something that works reasonably well for all of them at the same time.
At the absolute least we should have some means to use a custom suffix comparison (compare() overload that takes a function as a parameter?). -- Jake Petroules - jake.petroules at petroules.com Chief Technology Officer - Petroules Corporation On 2014-05-10, at 03:20 PM, Keith Gardner <kreios4...@gmail.com> wrote: > Let's not make it that complicated.
