Originally created by @variadico on GitHub (Jan 6, 2018).

From semver.md,

"v1.2.3" is not a semantic version

yet all of semver's releases prepend a v.

https://github.com/semver/semver/releases

semver.org correctly trims the prefix.

This is explained in https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/235. TL;DR: a "git tag" is not a semantic version.

CoolLib.1.0.0.pkg is not a semver string either, but it contains a semver substring. The spec doesn't address decoration/naming conventions. Initially, the spec did include a leading v and that was dropped fairly early on.

@variadico, SemVer addresses the syntax and semantics of a specific kind of version string. It says nothing about anything else on the page. If you go to https://semver.org/ you will not find any v's in front of any of the specifications version strings, nor are they used in any of the examples.

Unless you have further questions, please close this issue at your earliest possible convenience.
