semi-semantic

A Ruby library for parsing/formatting/comparing semi-semantic versions.

Why not just use Semantic Versioning?

The purpose of this library is to support, but not require semantic versioning.

How is this different than Semantic Versioning?

Unlike SemVer, Semi-Semantic does not define exactly how it must be used.

Semi-Semantic...

• Allows unlimited version segment components separated by periods (accessed by array index).
  • Does not have named concept of 'major', 'minor', or 'patch' versions.
• Supports underscores, to allow compatibility with ruby gem conventions and timestamps.

Usage

require 'semi_semantic/version'
...
version_string = '1.0.2-alpha.1+build.10'
version = SemiSemantic::Version.parse(version_string)

p version.release.to_s
# '1.0.2'

p version.pre_release.to_s
# 'alpha.1'

p version.post_release.to_s
# 'build.10'

# increment post-release number
p SemiSemantic::Version.new(version.release, version.pre_release, version.post_release.increment)
# '1.0.2-alpha.1+build.11'

# increment pre-release number
p SemiSemantic::Version.new(version.release, version.pre_release.increment)
# '1.0.2-alpha.2'

# increment release number
p SemiSemantic::Version.new(version.release.increment)
# '1.0.3'

# increment 'major' release number
p SemiSemantic::Version.new(version.release.increment(0))
# '2.0.0'

# increment 'minor' release number
p SemiSemantic::Version.new(version.release.increment(1))
# '1.1.0'

# increment second most least significant release number
p SemiSemantic::Version.new(version.release.increment(-2))
# '1.1.0'
