Hey there 👋🏽

I thought it would be nice if we had an fpm package that fully implements [Semantic Versioning 2.0](https://semver.org) in Fortran, so I sat down over the weekend and wrote it. It was more work than expected (imagine you want to parse `"0.3.1-alpha.rc.2-beta.123b+1"` and find out if it is larger than `"0.3.1-alpha.rc.2-beta.23b+2"` – Btw, do you know the answer? 😁).

Anyways, here it is: [GitHub - minhqdao/version-f: Semantic Versioning 2.0 in Fortran](https://github.com/minhqdao/version-f)

Hope it’ll be useful to you if you ever need to handle, parse or compare versions!
