Yes, I thought it'd just be for trunk?
There were two things that occurred to me:
- anything relying on the Maven format won't work with this one and will
need to add additional handling.
But those things (that rely on the maven standard format) don't work any better
now than they would after the patch.
- anyone relying on the string parsing might have behavioural changes
(though it would be very unusual - you'd be expecting 1.0.11.something <
1.0.2.something)
That's a good example of why this change is useful. Because for version ranges,
currently
1.0.11.something < 1.0.2.something
and after the change
1.0.2.something < 1.0.11.something
I have to admit my thought with this was more "you could probably get
away with it", not "that'll be fine" - it would be better to support
alternate syntax's such as we'd discussed before.
