Versionub, the version parser for nubs

Versionub is a simple library to manage versions, somewhat like Versionomy but a lot easier to implement another version type and far more shorter in code (which usually is better with equal functionality).

The only feature that's missing right now is #bump, I don't really need it but it wouldn't be hard to implement, if someone wants to implement it I'll gladly merge the changes, the file to change is lib/versionub/types/standard.rb.

It uses Parslet for parsing capabilities.

require 'versionub'

# Create version numbers that understand their own semantics
v1 = Versionub.create(major: 1, minor: 3, tiny: 2)
v1.major                                 # => 1
v1.minor                                 # => 3
v1.tiny                                  # => 2
v1.release_type                          # => :final
v1.patchlevel                            # => 0

# Parse version numbers, including common prerelease syntax
v2 = Versionub.parse('1.4a3')
v2.major                                 # => 1
v2.minor                                 # => 4

# Comparisons are semantic, so will behave as expected even if the
# formatting is set up differently.
