Re: [julia-dev] version string comparison seems to be broken today

[Tim Holy]

I think 0.4 is later than any 0.4.0-dev version. 0.4 refers to the release.

For example:
julia> VERSION < v"0.4.0-dev+4000"
false

julia> VERSION < v"0.4.0-dev+5000"
true

You caught my post before I realized my newbie error and deleted the post! ;-)

I had missed putting the - in v"0.4-", I'd tried that originally, just cut-and-paste from somewhere in the documentation,

but later forgot the all important -!

Thx, Scott
