semver v3.0.0

A major release to support arbitrary-sized version numbers, prevent invalid version numbers, remove obsolete functionality, and strong name the assembly.

Breaking Changes:

• SemVersion.Parse and SemVersion.TryParse now default to strict parsing. Use SemVersionStyles to control parsing
• SemVersion.Major, SemVersion.Minor, SemVersion.Patch, and PrereleaseIdentifier.NumericValue properties are now BigInteger (#73)
• Removed obsolete methods (#70, #47), including:
  • Implicit conversion from string (#47). Use SemVersion.Parse instead
  • SemVersion(int major, int minor = 0, int patch = 0, string prerelease = "", string build = "") constructor. Use another constructor or SemVersion.ParsedFrom instead
  • SemVersion.Parse and SemVersion.TryParse overloads with the strict parameter. They now default to strict. Use SemVersionStyles to control parsing
  • Comparison with SemVersion.CompareTo, SemVersion.Compare, SemVersion.CompareByPrecedence, <, <=, >, >=, or SemVersion.PrecedenceMatches. Use SemVersion.ComparePrecedenceTo, SemVersion.CompareSortOrderTo, SemVersion.ComparePrecedence, or SemVersion.CompareSortOrder instead.
  • SemVersion.Build. Use SemVersion.Metadata instead
  • SemVersion.Change. Use SemVersion.With or SemVersion.WithX methods instead
  • SemVersion(Version) constructor. Use SemVersion.FromVersion instead
• SemVersion no longer implements IComparable<SemVersion> or IComparable. Use SemVersion.PrecedenceComparer or SemVersion.SortOrderComparer instead
• Added strong name to assembly (#23)
• Dropped support for frameworks older than .NET Standard 2.0 (i.e., .NET Framework < 4.6.2 & .NET Core < 2.0) (#68)
• Construction of versions with negative major, minor, or patch is no longer allowed (#40)
• Negative maxLength parameter values now throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException (#72)

Other Changes:

• Arbitrary-sized version numbers are now supported, including in prerelease identifiers (#73)
