11//! Semantic version parsing and comparison.
12//!
13//! Semantic versioning (see http://semver.org/) is a set of rules for
14//! assigning version numbers.
15//!
16//! ## SemVer overview
17//!
18//! Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
19//!
20//! 1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
21//! 2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible
22//!    manner, and
23//! 3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
24//!
25//! Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as
26//! extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
27//!
28//! Any references to 'the spec' in this documentation refer to [version 2.0 of
29//! the SemVer spec](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
30//!
31//! ## SemVer and the Rust ecosystem
32//!
33//! Rust itself follows the SemVer specification, as does its standard
34//! libraries. The two are not tied together.
35//!
36//! [Cargo](http://crates.io), Rust's package manager, uses SemVer to determine
37//! which versions of packages you need installed.
38//!
39//! ## Versions
40//!
41//! At its simplest, the `semver` crate allows you to construct `Version`
42//! objects using the `parse` method:
43//!
44//! ```{rust}
45//! use reproto_semver::Version;
46//!
47//! assert!(Version::parse("1.2.3") == Ok(Version {
48//!    major: 1,
49//!    minor: 2,
50//!    patch: 3,
51//!    pre: vec!(),
52//!    build: vec!(),
53//! }));
54//! ```
55//!
56//! If you have multiple `Version`s, you can use the usual comparison operators
57//! to compare them:
58//!
59//! ```{rust}
60//! use reproto_semver::Version;
61//!
62//! assert!(Version::parse("1.2.3-alpha") != Version::parse("1.2.3-beta"));
63//! assert!(Version::parse("1.2.3-alpha2") >  Version::parse("1.2.0"));
64//! ```
65//!
66//! If you explicitly need to modify a Version, SemVer also allows you to
67//! increment the major, minor, and patch numbers in accordance with the spec.
68//!
69//! Please note that in order to do this, you must use a mutable Version:
70//!
71//! ```{rust}
72//! use reproto_semver::Version;
73//!
74//! let mut bugfix_release = Version::parse("1.0.0").unwrap();
75//! bugfix_release.increment_patch();
76//!
77//! assert_eq!(Ok(bugfix_release), Version::parse("1.0.1"));
78//! ```
79//!
80//! When incrementing the minor version number, the patch number resets to zero
81//! (in accordance with section 7 of the spec)
82//!
83//! ```{rust}
84//! use reproto_semver::Version;
85//!
86//! let mut feature_release = Version::parse("1.4.6").unwrap();
87//! feature_release.increment_minor();
88//!
89//! assert_eq!(Ok(feature_release), Version::parse("1.5.0"));
90//! ```
91//!
92//! Similarly, when incrementing the major version number, the patch and minor
93//! numbers reset to zero (in accordance with section 8 of the spec)
94//!
95//! ```{rust}
96//! use reproto_semver::Version;
97//!
98//! let mut chrome_release = Version::parse("41.5.5377").unwrap();
99//! chrome_release.increment_major();
100//!
101//! assert_eq!(Ok(chrome_release), Version::parse("42.0.0"));
102//! ```
103//!
104//! ## Requirements
105//!
106//! The `semver` crate also provides the ability to compare requirements, which
107//! are more complex comparisons.
108//!
109//! For example, creating a requirement that only matches versions greater than
110//! or equal to 1.0.0:
111//!
112//! ```{rust}
113//! # #![allow(unstable)]
114//! use reproto_semver::Version;
115//! use reproto_semver::Range;
116//!
117//! let r = Range::parse(">= 1.0.0").unwrap();
118//! let v = Version::parse("1.0.0").unwrap();
119//!
120//! assert!(r.to_string() == ">= 1.0.0".to_string());
121//! assert!(r.matches(&v))
122//! ```
123//!
124//! It also allows parsing of `~x.y.z` and `^x.y.z` requirements as defined at
125//! https://www.npmjs.org/doc/misc/semver.html
126//!
127//! **Tilde requirements** specify a minimal version with some updates:
128//!
129//! ```notrust
130//! ~1.2.3 := >=1.2.3 <1.3.0
131//! ~1.2   := >=1.2.0 <1.3.0
132//! ~1     := >=1.0.0 <2.0.0
133//! ```
134//!
135//! **Caret requirements** allow SemVer compatible updates to a specified
136//! verion, `0.x` and `0.x+1` are not considered compatible, but `1.x` and
137//! `1.x+1` are.
138//!
139//! `0.0.x` is not considered compatible with any other version.
140//! Missing minor and patch versions are desugared to `0` but allow flexibility
141//! for that value.
142//!
143//! ```notrust
144//! ^1.2.3 := >=1.2.3 <2.0.0
145//! ^0.2.3 := >=0.2.3 <0.3.0
146//! ^0.0.3 := >=0.0.3 <0.0.4
147//! ^0.0   := >=0.0.0 <0.1.0
148//! ^0     := >=0.0.0 <1.0.0
149//! ```
150//!
151//! **Wildcard requirements** allows parsing of version requirements of the
152//! formats `*`, `x.*` and `x.y.*`.
153//!
154//! ```notrust
155//! *     := >=0.0.0
156//! 1.*   := >=1.0.0 <2.0.0
157//! 1.2.* := >=1.2.0 <1.3.0
158//! ```
