   /**
   * Compares dotted version strings of varying length. Makes a best effort with
   * other delimiters and non-numeric versions.
   * <p/>
   * For dotted decimals, comparison is as you'd expect: 0.1 is before 0.2 is before
   * 1.0 is before 2.0. This works for any number of dots.
   * <p/>
   * More complicated version numbers are compared by splitting the version strings
   * into components using the {@link #DELIMITER_PATTERN} and comparing each
   * component in order. The first difference found when comparing components
   * left-to-right is returned.
   * <p/>
   * Two numeric components (containing only digits) are compared as integers. A
   * numeric component comes after any non-numeric one. Two non-numeric components
   * are ordered by {@link String#compareToIgnoreCase(String)}.
