isn't docs clear about it? https://semver.org/#spec-item-9

  • 1.2.3-beta.3 has 2 pre-release dot separated identifiers beta and 3 which both can be compared
    while
  • 1.2.3-beta-3 has 1 pre-release identifier beta-3 matching allowed regex [0-9A-Za-z-]

I think questions should be posted to places like Stack Overflow tag:semantic-versioning than here as issue tracker

so conclusions are 1. these are not the same and 2. You can use 1.2.3-beta-3 instead of 1.2.3-beta.3 if it is format you prefer.
