Versioning is hard! mixlib-versioning is a general Ruby library that allows you to parse, compare and manipulate version numbers in multiple formats. Currently the following version string formats are supported:

SemVer 2.0.0

Specification:

http://semver.org/

Supported Formats:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE+BUILD

Not much to say here except: YUNO USE SEMVER! The specification is focused and brief, do yourself a favor and go read it.

Opscode SemVer

Supported Formats:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-alpha.INDEX
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-beta.INDEX
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-rc.INDEX
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-alpha.INDEX+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-beta.INDEX+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-rc.INDEX+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-alpha.INDEX+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.git.COMMITS_SINCE.SHA1
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-beta.INDEX+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.git.COMMITS_SINCE.SHA1
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-rc.INDEX+YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.git.COMMITS_SINCE.SHA1

All the fun of regular SemVer with some extra limits around what constitutes a valid pre-release or build version string.

Valid prerelease version strings use the format: PRERELEASE_STAGE.INDEX. Valid prerelease stages include: alpha, beta and rc.

All of the following are acceptable Opscode SemVer pre-release versions:

11.0.8-alpha.0
11.0.8-alpha.1
11.0.8-beta.7
11.0.8-beta.8
11.0.8-rc.1
11.0.8-rc.2

Build version strings are limited to timestamps (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS), git describe strings (git.COMMITS_SINCE.SHA1) or a combination of the two (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.git.COMMITS_SINCE.SHA1).

All of the following are acceptable Opscode build versions:

11.0.8+20130308110833
11.0.8+git.2.g94a1dde
11.0.8+20130308110833.git.2.94a1dde

And as is true with regular SemVer you can mix pre-release and build versions:

11.0.8-rc.1+20130308110833
11.0.8-alpha.2+20130308110833.git.2.94a1dde

Rubygems

specification:

http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/7

http://guides.rubygems.org/patterns/

Supported Formats:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.PRERELEASE

Rubygems is almost SemVer compliant but it separates the main version from the pre-release version using a "dot". It also does not have the notion of a build version like SemVer.

Examples of valid Rubygems version strings:

10.1.1
10.1.1
10.1.1.alpha.1
10.1.1.beta.1
10.1.1.rc.0

Git Describe

Specification:

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe

Supported Formats:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-COMMITS_SINCE-gGIT_SHA1
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-COMMITS_SINCE-gGIT_SHA1-ITERATION
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE-COMMITS_SINCE-gGIT_SHA1
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE-COMMITS_SINCE-gGIT_SHA1-ITERATION

Examples of valid Git Describe version strings:

10.16.2-49-g21353f0-1
10.16.2.rc.1-49-g21353f0-1
11.0.0-alpha-10-g642ffed
11.0.0-alpha.1-1-gcea071e

SemVer Partial

MAJOR
MAJOR.MINOR

Examples of valid SemVer Partial version strings:

1
0.1
1.0

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mixlib-versioning'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mixlib-versioning

Usage

Basic Version String Parsing

>> require 'mixlib/versioning'
true
>> v1 = Mixlib::Versioning.parse("11.0.3")
#<Mixlib::Versioning::Format::OpscodeSemVer:0x3fecddccff4c @major=11, @minor=0, @patch=3, @prerelease=nil, @build=nil, @input="11.0.3">
>> v1.release?
true
>> v1.prerelease?
false
>> v1.build?
false
>> v1.prerelease_build?
false
>> v2 = Mixlib::Versioning.parse("11.0.0-beta.1")
#<Mixlib::Versioning::Format::OpscodeSemVer:0x3fecde44f420 @major=11, @minor=0, @patch=0, @prerelease="beta.1", @build=nil, @input="11.0.0-beta.1">
>> v2.release?
false
>> v2.prerelease?
true
>> v2.build?
