Hi,

Just wanted to know if there was anything new on this?
When managing softwares version we often are not at all master of the naming convention used: we just have to deal with it.

"LooseVersion" was very nice as it would take any string as input and do "the best" with it.

Now that it's broken for some type of version string, it become quite useless.

I overloaded the comparison part more or less using the Natalia patch idea (but done after the argument split). But shouldn't that be default?

Thanks.
