NAME

Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic - Monotonic versioning

VERSION

This document describes version 0.004 of Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic (from Perl distribution Versioning-Scheme), released on 2018-10-11.

SYNOPSIS

use Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic;

# checking validity
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->is_valid('1.2');   # 1
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->is_valid('1.02');  # 0
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->is_valid('1.2.0'); # 1
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->is_valid('1.2.1'); # 0

# normalizing
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->normalize('1.2.0'); # => '1.2'

# comparing
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->compare('1.2', '1.2.0'); # 0
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->compare('1.2', '1.13');  # -1
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->compare('2.2', '1.13');  # 1

# bumping
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->bump('1.2');            # => '1.3'
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->bump('1.2', {num=>2});  # => '1.4'
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->bump('1.2', {part=>0}); # => '2.3'
Versioning::Scheme::Monotonic->bump('1.2', {num=>-1, part=>0}); # => '0.1'

You can also mix this role into your class.

DESCRIPTION

This class implements the monotonic versioning scheme as described in [1]. A version number comprises two whole numbers:

COMPATIBILITY.RELEASE

where COMPATIBILITY starts at 0 and RELEASE starts at 1 with no zero prefix. An additional ".0" is allowed for compatibility with semantic versioning:

COMPATIBILITY.RELEASE.0

RELEASE is always increased. COMPATIBILITY is increased whenever there's a backward-incompatibility introduced.

Normalizing just normalized COMPATIBILITY.RELEASE.0 into COMPATIBILITY.RELEASE.

Comparing is performed using this expression:

(COMPATIBILITY1 <=> COMPATIBILITY2) || (RELEASE1 <=> RELEASE2)

Bumping by default increases RELEASE by 1. You can specify option num (e.g. 2) to bump RELEASE by that number. You can specify option part (e.g. 0) to increase COMPATIBILITY instead; but in that case RELEASE will still be bumped by 1.
