Rust Version Operators

This week I’ve published a Rust library for comparing, adding, and subtracting version-like inputs. Check the documentation for detailed getting started and usage instructions, the source code is available on GitHub. What follows is the TLDR for installation and usage…

Cargo.toml (snip)

[dependencies]
version_operators = "0.0.1"

src/main.rs (example)

use version_operators::Version;

fn main() {
    let version = Version::from_str("1.14.3");

    let expected = vec![1, 14, 3];

    assert_eq!(version.to_vector(), expected);
}
