That is: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-rc1 < 1.0.0-rc2 < 1.0.0 Which is a totally different matter than that ASDF or any other library should be using semver itself or that semver was a bad or a good idea. My take here is that if someone releases 1.0.0-alpha *and* 1.0.0 then they probably did not intend 1.0.0-alpha to be sorted *after* (as newer than) 1.0.0. -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
