Semantic Versioning

One version is enough to identify how old this work is!

Semantic versioning is another extra Textify feature that checks the stringified version to see if it is SemVer 2.0 compliant.

Parsing semantic version string

To parse your semantic version string, for example, 1.0.0-alpha1 or 1.0.0.0-alpha1, you must define a variable that has the type of SemVer. Then, call one of the following functions:

Function	Description
SemVer.Parse()	Parses either the full or the 3-component versions
SemVer.ParseWithoutRev()	Parses the 3-component version.
SemVer.ParseWithRev()	Parses the full version.

A simple example on how to get a SemVer instance from the version string is:

SemVer semVer = SemVer.Parse(version);

Once the parser finishes parsing your semantic version string, it returns a SemVer class instance.

Version information class

A SemVer class instance contains the necessary information about your version:

Property	Description
MajorVersion	Major version
MinorVersion	Minor version
PatchVersion	Patch version
RevisionVersion	Revision version
PreReleaseInfo	Pre-Release info
BuildMetadata	Build metadata

Version information equality operators

As for the equality operators, this class supports the following operators:

Operator	Description
==	Checks to see if both SemVer versions are equal.
!=	Checks to see if both SemVer versions are opposite to each other.
<	Checks to see if a is older than b.
>	Checks to see if a is newer than b.
<=	Checks to see if a is older or equal to b.
>=	Checks to see if a is newer or equal to b.
