Semantic Versioning Ranges
Raw
versioning-ranges.txt
For a simplistic view on what versioning ranges look like, see below:
Version Range
>=1.0 1.0.0 - *.*.*
>=1.0 <2.0 1.0.0 - 1.*.*
>=1.0 <1.1 || >=1.2 1.0.0 - 1.*.* || 1.2.0 - *.*.*
>=1.0 <1.1 1.0.0 - 1.*.*
>=1.0.0 <2.1 1.0.* - 2.0.*
>=1.0.0 <=2.1.0 1.0.0 - 2.1.0
~1.2 1.2.0 - 1.*.*
~1.2.3 1.2.3 - 1.2.*
^1.2.3 1.2.3 - 1.*.*
^0.3 0.3.0 - 0.3.*
^1.2 1.2.0 - 1.*.*
Notes:
- Using ~ specifies a minimum version, but allows the last digit specified to go up.
- The ^ operator behaves very similarly but it sticks closer to semantic versioning,
and will always allow non-breaking updates.
- Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any
time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
