I'm open to suggests for prettifying the output, or adding further comparisons. While coding precis, I decided that trying to police version numbers would be impractical so I decided to focus on changes/diffs instead.
Sure, but it helps to get an approximation of the necessary version bumps, right?
By the way - on the Package version policy page, Section 2 (Version Numbers) takes a lot of reading to make sense of (and I'm notionally a native English speaker). Maybe item 3 should state that "D" increases rather than the nebulus "other version components".

I have not written the body of that page. Since it is a wiki feel free to improve whatever you think must be improved. Regards, Henning
