Module version numbers with decimal points #1

Closed rmlockwood closed 9 years ago

I'd like to be able to put version 1.0.1 on my modules, but it seems that only integers are allowed. Is it possible to change this?

My philosophy on version numbers is to keep it simple. I don't expect FlexTools Modules to turn into complex suites of code needing multiple current versions with subversions for bugfixes, etc. As a workmate said to me once, "numbers are free." If you get to version 42 quickly because you're making lots of changes, is that a problem? I'm interested in your thoughts, but would prefer to leave it as-is.

Version 1.2.4 (released 10 Nov 2015) allows Version to be a string (or any type that can be cast to a string with str())
