Version is a library for creating, editing, and comparing semantic version numbers. Currently, v2.0.0 of the [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) specification is supported.

```
use Herrera\Version\Dumper;
use Herrera\Version\Parser;

$builder = Parser::toBuilder('1.2.3-alpha+2');
$builder->incrementMajor();
$builder->clearBuild();
$builder->clearPreRelease();

echo Dumper::toString($builder); // echoes "2.0.0"

$finalVersion = $builder->getVersion();
```
