Parses Version Numbers as Dates

[splatteredbits]

Given this YAML:

Version: 1.2.3

YamlDotNet parses this as a date/time, e.g. 1/2/2003 12:00:00 AM.

According to the YAML specification only bare values that use ISO8601 format should be parsed as date/times.

I would expect this to get parsed as a string, e.g. "1.2.3".

This is definitely a bug. Let me see what can be done to fix it.

Without example code, I'm going with this is resolved.

using YamlDotNet.Serialization;

var deserializer = new DeserializerBuilder()
    .Build();

var yaml = "Version: 1.2.3";

var value = deserializer.Deserialize(new StringReader(yaml)) as Dictionary<object, object>;

Console.WriteLine(value["Version"].GetType());

Results in

System.String
