Comment:
No they did it wrong from the start, now you would have to revert all the previous versions to make it work.

The "rc-keyword" makes the version `1.0.0rc1` less than `1.0.0`.
The algorithm works by making version numbers a sequence of "components", i.e. `1.0` becomes `[1 0 0]` and `1.0rc1` becomes `[1 0 0 -1 1]`.
When comparing two versions it will then compare each number one by one, and if one of those is shorter it will compare the remaining numbers against `0`.
