Function compareVersions

compareVersions(a: string, b: string): number
Compares two versions with semver precedence.
Parameters
- a: string
- b: string
Returns number
positive when a is newer than b.

Remarks
Not a semver dependency for one comparison. A prerelease sorts before its release, and prerelease identifiers compare numerically when both are numbers (beta.10 after beta.9).
