0.7.0

• Add versions.with_mode for immutable API objects with a consistent caller-selected default
  across every function. Explicit per-call modes still take precedence; original defaults remain.
• Add component-count/index, prerelease-identification, and build/local-metadata helpers, including
  typed boolean and text comparisons in requirement expressions. Expression calls inherit the
  requirement checker's version mode, including nested calls.

0.6.0

• Document both public modules in docs/versions.md and docs/paths.md, including complete legacy,
  SemVer and PEP 440 mode contracts; keep usage overviews in the root README.

• Add opt-in mode = "pep440" for Python version parsing, precedence, and specifier clauses;
  preserve legacy and SemVer defaults. Include a developer-only packaging conformance oracle.

• Add versions.prefix, versions.components, versions.compatible, and versions.matches.

• Support compatible-release (~=), negated compatible (!~=), extended wildcard-compatible
  (~~=), and negated extended (!~~=) requirements, plus trailing .* matching/exclusion
  (==, !=). Extended compatibility adds a stable lower bound to prefix matching.

• Add versions.major, versions.minor, versions.patch and allowlisted, nested version-function
  expressions with an implied or explicit candidate and literal positional/keyword arguments.

• Add explicit constants dictionaries to requirement checkers for caller-defined names, resolved
  at evaluation time on expression left sides and inside function arguments. Functions keep call
  syntax (major()), independent of constants with the same name (major).

• Add explicit mode = "semver" to parsing, comparisons, and requirements; existing APIs keep
  mode = "legacy" by default. SemVer mode zero-pads release comparisons and preserves distinct
  prerelease identifiers such as rc1 and rc.1, with lexical rc10 < rc2 ordering.

• Fetch shallow publication snapshots and report complete site size with a 250 MB advisory budget.

0.5.1

• Transfer the canonical repository from helly25/bzl to mboworks/bzl and
  publish future releases under the new mboworks_bzl module name.

0.5.0

• [BC] Dropped legacy WORKSPACE support; the module is now bzlmod-only.

0.4.4

• Re-release of 0.4.3 with no functional changes (release/CI tooling only).

0.4.3

• Added paths.ensure_trailing_slash and paths.ensure_trailing_slash_windows to append a single trailing separator, handling roots and existing trailing separators. An optional default_if_empty controls the fallback for empty input (e.g. "/" to anchor at the platform root).

0.4.2

• Fix release naming and tagging scheme back to "1.2.3" style without 'v' prefix.

0.4.1

• Added explicit Windows and Bazel 9 support for the Bazel module releases.

0.4.0

• Implement paths library.

0.3.1

• Fixed some cases of comparisons that contain '-' or '+' against versions that are missing those parts.

0.3.0

• Added skip_build parameter to control whether comparisons adhere to Semver-10.
• [BC] Changed version.parse and version.compare to take parameter error as a keyword only parameter.

0.2.1

• Improved support for mixed type comparisons.

0.2.0

• Added support for parsing out 'pre_release' and 'build' components.
• Added versions.compare.
• Added 'pre_release' and 'build' support for comparisons.
• Added CI run for Windows (may be dropped at any future point).

0.1.2

• Fixed workspace file to work for transitive repos.

0.1.1

• Fixed some naming issues and remove mbo references.
