Versioning confusion

[SMillerDev]

Is this project semantically versioned? It seemed that way with earlier versions, but currently 16.0.0 is newer than 16.0.0-1 which is not really following semantic versioning and is quite confusing to people packaging pulp.

Setting aside what the version number should be, it is correct per semver that 16.0.0 is newer than 16.0.0-1 - check https://semver.org/

When major, minor, and patch are equal, a pre-release version has lower precedence than a normal version:

Example: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0.

This is often a confusing aspect of semver for sure

Wait, that was supposed to indicate that it was a pre-release? While the grammar seems to allow it, the examples on the webpage don't really seem to support usage of numeric-only parts for pre-release identifiers.

If I released a 16.0.1, would that resolve the homebrew issue?

[SMillerDev]

It would certainly end confusion about what is supposed to be the last version so that would be much appreciated
