Frequently asked questions
Is comparison based on Semantic Versioning?
It compares major, minor, patch, and prerelease identifiers; build metadata is ignored.
Can I include a leading v?
Yes. A leading v is accepted and omitted from normalized output.
Does it check package registries?
No. It compares only the two values you enter.
