Support non-semVer

[koppor]

I found this library while looking to an alternative of clparse (which I was recommended at NiclasvanEyk/keepac#20 (comment)).

My tool is not using SemVer, but using keep-a-changelog-format. Example: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/v5.11/CHANGELOG.md. I am also using en dashes for separation (so that the CHANGELOG.md looks nicer to end users).

https://github.com/colindean/keepachangelog-parser-java seems to enforce SemVer.

Just wanted to let you know about this.

Think, I will continue working on heylogs. While keepachangelog-java-parser has a better internal data model, heylogs offers more functionality. Still working on getting it implementing my wish (nbbrd/heylogs#146).

I could pretty easily allow an endash in addition to a dash for the date separator:

https://github.com/colindean/keepachangelog-parser-java/blob/17f83b20a9e355cc64cbb4c46a4c8b54e14220b8/src/main/java/cx/cad/keepachangelog/internal/ChangelogExtractor.java#L34C66-L34C66

The SemVer impl comes from

keepachangelog-parser-java/src/main/java/cx/cad/keepachangelog/ChangelogEntry.java

Line 18 in 17f83b2

import com.github.zafarkhaja.semver.Version;

and is from an old version:

keepachangelog-parser-java/build.gradle

Line 48 in 17f83b2

compile group: 'com.github.zafarkhaja', name: 'java-semver', version: '0.9.0'

Latest appears to be 0.10.0 and on a very quick glance it looks like it allows weak SemVer in #.# that you're using.

I don't know when I'd get around to making these changes, but I'd happily take a PR if you'd like to submit one. I don't consider this codebase abandoned but it's definitely in a "when I feel like it" maintenance mode.
