I was able to create an IPS server for our out-of-box driver that allows our

Unfortunately IPS only allows strictly numeric version numbers.  E.G. it should 
allow driver version 10.15a.  As it is now, the driver will not post with an 
alpha-numeric version string.

Is this a change that may be forthcoming?

It's impractical to perform consistent version ordering that works the way each package creator expects with non-numeric characters in the version. As such, there are no plans to implement support for non-numeric characters in package versions.

Why do you need this support?
