Version Manger Library for SemVer

Overview

VMLib is a Ruby gem to manage Semantic Versioning of projects. The gem consists of a library and a command line utility to version a folder and all subfolders.

Features

• Supports Semantic versioning as of the 2.0.0-rc1 specification. Development version supports the final 2.0.0 specification.
• Prerelease parser that supports development releases (1.0.0-1, 1.0.0-2, etc.), alpha releases (1.0.0-a.1, 1.0.0-alpha.2), beta releases (1.0.0-b.1, 1.0.0-beta.2), and release candidates (1.0.0-rc.1, 1.0.0-rc.2). The prerelease parser can be disabled globally to allow the user to specify their own prerelease format. Comparision is still compliant with the SemVer spec.
• Compare two versions using the spaceship operator (<=>).
• Supports a project name and multiple version formats. Eg. vmlib 1.0.0, vmlib v1.0.0, version 1.0.0, vmlib version 1.0.0.
• Built in methods to bump portions of the version number.
• Support for walking a source tree to update all references to the version number. (experimental)

Known Issues

The gem does not support creating separate versions of components in subfolders of an already versioned project folder. The Version file can be created manually to work around this limitation.
