//! Semantic version parsing and comparison.
//!
//! Semantic versioning (see http://semver.org/) is a set of rules for
//! assigning version numbers.
//!
//! ## SemVer overview
//!
//! Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
//!
//! 1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
//! 2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible
//!    manner, and
//! 3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
//!
//! Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as
//! extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
//!
//! Any references to 'the spec' in this documentation refer to [version 2.0 of
//! the SemVer spec](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
//!
//! ## SemVer and the Rust ecosystem
//!
//! Rust itself follows the SemVer specification, as does its standard
//! libraries. The two are not tied together.
//!
//! [Cargo](http://crates.io), Rust's package manager, uses SemVer to determine
//! which versions of packages you need installed.
//!
//! ## Versions
//!
//! At its simplest, the `semver` crate allows you to construct `Version`
//! objects using the `parse` method:
//!
//! ```{rust}
//! use semver::Version;
//!
//! assert!(Version::parse("1.2.3") == Ok(Version {
//!    major: 1,
//!    minor: 2,
//!    patch: 3,
//!    pre: vec!(),
//!    build: vec!(),
//! }));
//! ```
//!
//! If you have multiple `Version`s, you can use the usual comparison operators
//! to compare them:
//!
//! ```{rust}
//! use semver::Version;
//!
//! assert!(Version::parse("1.2.3-alpha")  != Version::parse("1.2.3-beta"));
//! assert!(Version::parse("1.2.3-alpha2") >  Version::parse("1.2.0"));
//! ```
//!
//! ## Requirements
//!
//! The `semver` crate also provides the ability to compare requirements, which
//! are more complex comparisons.
//!
//! For example, creating a requirement that only matches versions greater than
//! or equal to 1.0.0:
//!
//! ```{rust}
//! # #![allow(unstable)]
//! use semver::Version;
//! use semver::VersionReq;
//!
//! let r = VersionReq::parse(">= 1.0.0").unwrap();
//! let v = Version::parse("1.0.0").unwrap();
//!
//! assert!(r.to_string() == ">= 1.0.0".to_string());
//! assert!(r.matches(&v))
//! ```
//!
//! It also allows parsing of `~x.y.z` and `^x.y.z` requirements as defined at
//! https://www.npmjs.org/doc/misc/semver.html
//!
//! **Tilde requirements** specify a minimal version with some updates:
//!
//! ```notrust
//! ~1.2.3 := >=1.2.3 <1.3.0
//! ~1.2   := >=1.2.0 <1.3.0
//! ~1     := >=1.0.0 <2.0.0
//! ```
//!
//! **Caret requirements** allow SemVer compatible updates to a specified
//! verion, `0.x` and `0.x+1` are not considered compatible, but `1.x` and
//! `1.x+1` are.
//!
//! `0.0.x` is not considered compatible with any other version.
//! Missing minor and patch versions are desugared to `0` but allow flexibility
//! for that value.
//!
//! ```notrust
//! ^1.2.3 := >=1.2.3 <2.0.0
//! ^0.2.3 := >=0.2.3 <0.3.0
//! ^0.0.3 := >=0.0.3 <0.0.4
//! ^0.0   := >=0.0.0 <0.1.0
//! ^0     := >=0.0.0 <1.0.0
//! ```
//!
//! **Wildcard requirements** allows parsing of version requirements of the
//! formats `*`, `x.*` and `x.y.*`.
//!
//! ```notrust
//! *     := >=0.0.0
//! 1.*   := >=1.0.0 <2.0.0
//! 1.2.* := >=1.2.0 <1.3.0
//! ```
