Cannot parse "^5.0.0-beta.1"

I suppose it is the "-beta" which makes trouble:

I don't think this library is maintained any more. You may want to check out https://github.com/asarkar/jsemver.

Hello Christophe! Sorry it took me this long to get back to you.

You're right, the current grammar doesn't support pre-release versions.

I don't know if it's still relevant to you, but I'll investigate the possibility of extending it.
