Hi Tobias,

I see several issues with the current implementation of VersionNumber. :)

- You cannot compare 4.1 to 3.1 because such branches are treated unordered.

- You cannot even compare 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 for the same reason. But you can compare 4.1 to 4.2 though.

This logic might be the reason to throw out the zero all together: 4.1 and 4.1.0 are not so different, yet the first will be comparable but the second will not. That "branch logic" seems to be the key. Try changing #initializeNumbers: to accept zero and then play around with the comparison logic.

It's kind of weird or at least incomprehensible. I cannot find useful comments either.

Best,

Marcel

Hi,

what's the rationale of VersionNumber prohibiting zeros in any of the version parts?
Eg, 4.0.3 is not a valid VersionNumber currently.

Best regards
