Add support for pre-Release versions #68

Closed lucdekens closed 4 years ago

lucdekens commented 6 years ago

With the new AllowPrerelease switch, we can install pre-release modules. It would be handy if we could express a dependency on such a pre-release module.

Makes sense to me! Looks like would just need to have a way to specify AllowPrerelease, and might need to look into current comparison methods to see how pre-release versions are handled (this might be wonky).

Presumably, we could do this, and say 'you're out of luck if you don't follow semver', or at least, this bit:

A pre-release version number MAY be denoted by appending an arbitrary string immediately following the patch version and a dash. The string MUST be comprised of only alphanumerics plus dash [0-9A-Za-z-]. Pre-release versions satisfy but have a lower precedence than the associated normal version. Precedence SHOULD be determined by lexicographic ASCII sort order. For instance: 1.0.0-alpha1 < 1.0.0-beta1 < 1.0.0-beta2 < 1.0.0-rc1 < 1.0.0.
