Tried to get everything to an rc.0 of the very latest version,
which required some research in some cases about the published
versions. For example, some packages had version histories like:
```
...
1.0.3-winr.2 January 20th, 2015
1.0.3-winr.3 February 24th, 2015 installed
1.0.3 March 17th, 2015 installed
1.0.4-anubhav.0 August 6th, 2015
1.0.4-plugins.0 July 22nd, 2015
1.0.5-galaxy.0 July 17th, 2015
```
In this case, I would bump the version from `1.0.4-plugins.0`
to `1.0.5-rc.0`, skipping `1.0.4`.
This included removing some internal version constraints. It would be
nice if package A could say "use B@2.0.0" (when both have changed), but
when they're both in the release, we need to make a release that has a
B@2.0.0-rc in it, which doesn't match that constraint. Fortunately,
constraints aren't necessary within a release anyway.
You can still include them on the client, but they don’t work in
Safari 4 and IE 8 because semver.js uses ES 5 methods including
String#trim, Array#map/filter/forEach, and possibly others.
This should fix any unit test failures in these packages.
This is a breaking change to package-version-parser.
A PackageConstraint used to look like this:
```
{ name: String,
constraintString: String,
constraints: [{version: String|null,
type: String}]}
```
Now it looks like this:
```
{ name: String,
constraintString: String,
vConstraint: {
raw: String,
alternatives: [{versionString: String|null,
type: String}]}}
```
Where (vConstraint instanceof VersionConstraint) and
(vConstraint.raw === constraintString).
This achieves several desirable changes at once.
* `constraint.constraints` for the disjuncts in “1.0.0||2.0.0”
was confusing. `alternatives` is better.
* Having a class for VersionConstraint will come in handy because
we can add methods to it, and we can use it in the constraint
solver to represent the problem statement.
* The names “vConstraint” and “versionString” are a little verbose,
but there really shouldn’t be a lot of code that dives into this
structure, and I really wanted to avoid anyone ever writing:
`constraint.constraint.alternatives[0].version`, and then wondering
what sort of object that was (not a parsed PackageVersion! we could
parse eagerly but that might be slow).
Despite the name “package-version-parser,” PVP didn’t really provide a way to parse a package version. With this change, if you want to get the minor version of “1.2.3_4”, for example, you can just write `PV.parse(“1.2.3_4”).minor`. This simplifies the internals of PVP as well.
When you parse a version, you now get an instance of PackageVersion with a documented set of fields.
Also, make PVP work on the client. When called directly from the tool, semver is loaded the same way as before. When PVP is used as a package, it uses a copy of semver v4.1.0 kept inside the package.
This change is intended to be 100% behavior-preserving.
