Compare version number with rc is incorrect

Hi,

Hope you are doing well!

I am wondering if semver supports version with rc without a dot (.) - exp: 1.0.0-rc1

I have two version numbers - 1.0.0-rc3 and 1.0.0-rc11, and for the current lib, when I am trying to compare these two versions, it shown me that 1.0.0-rc3 > 1.0.0-rc11 but which is not making any sense to me.

        Semver sem1 = new Semver("1.0.0-rc3", Semver.SemverType.LOOSE);
        Semver sem2 = new Semver("1.0.0-rc11", Semver.SemverType.LOOSE);

        System.out.println(sem1.isGreaterThan(sem2)); // --- which is true

Can anybody please help?

Thanks!

Interesting thing… I checked the behavior on the npm semver and here is the result…

const semver = require('semver')
semver.compare('1.0.0-rc11', '1.0.0-rc3') // ---- return -1 

Above means rc11 is smaller than rc3. I think the npm also probably using the string comparison, but anyway I created a PR for that. Please let me know what you are thinking.

@shuyingz if you are still interesting, I’ve made copy of this lib and fix bug reported by you. Look for version 2.0.1
