== Detailed Description ==
The new numbering scheme is more flexible and allows you to do major and minor releases. This is useful when you want to do for example a bug fix release. The new version number will consist of N integers separated by dots (e.g. 1, 1.2, 1.4.5, 2.5.7.4). You can still use an integer number only for your releases.
There is as well the ability to use a suffix for a local indicator (e.g. Peru wants to release a slightly modified version for their deployment 1.3-peru). The local indicator is a string, appended to the version. The local indicator does not apply alpha ordering, which means that 1.3-peru is equal to 1.3-argentina.
Valid:
1
1.2
1.2.3
2.4.6.7
2.3-peru
Not valid:
1.2peru # must be separated with -
1.2. # can't end with '.'
1.02.5 # can't have a leading zero
Comparisons:
12 == 12
0.9.9 < 1
1 == 1.0.0
1.2 < 1.2.3
1.2-arg == 1.2
1.2-arg == 1.2-peru
