## Version comparison
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`dependency(version:)` and other version constraints now handle versions
|
||
|
|
containing non-numeric characters better, comparing versions using the rpmvercmp
|
||
|
|
algorithm (as using the `pkg-config` autoconf macro `PKG_CHECK_MODULES` does).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a breaking change for exact comparison constraints which rely on the
|
||
|
|
previous comparison behaviour of extending the compared versions with `'0'`
|
||
|
|
elements, up to the same length of `'.'`-separated elements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, a version of `'0.11.0'` would previously match a version constraint
|
||
|
|
of `'==0.11'`, but no longer does, being instead considered strictly greater.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Instead, use a version constraint which exactly compares with the precise
|
||
|
|
version required, e.g. `'==0.11.0'`.
