This reworks the way versions are handled internally to reverse the semantics such that the individual semver components (major, minor, patch, prerelease, and buildmetadata) are parsed from a full string and exported at init time. Also, since the version is now parsed and verified to be accurate, it updates the pre-release parsing to properly support dots as required by the spec and combines the pre-release and build normalization funcs since they are now the same. This provides a few main benefits: - Allows a single linker override to fully specify the version string instead of having separate ones that can only override the prerelease and build metadata portions - Provides run-time checks to ensure the full version string is valid per the semver spec regardless of whether it was specified directly in the source or provided via the linker - Is slightly more efficient since the full version string is no longer dynamically created on each invocation Finally, while here, add some comments regarding the release process to help maintainers. |
