 A string or array of string declaring supported version ranges in the form ''<operator1><range1>[ <operator2><range2>]...''. Multiple space separated ranges within the same string follow an "AND" relationship - they must all be satisfied. In the case of an array, an "OR" relationship is assumed between the array elements - that is, only one element has to match for the collective declaration to be satisfied.
-In the case of all versions, ''*'' is a special string declaring that any version is matched by the range. Fabric Loader supports a [[https://semver.org/ semver 2.0.0]] superset that allows an arbitrary amount of version components, empty pre-release and arbitrary build metadata. Version strings that are incompatible with this format are still accepted, but comparison support is limited to equality operators.

-Versions compatible with the extended semver format are compared as defined by [[https://semver.org/ semver 2.0.0]] with arbitrary version component comparisons beign done left to right for all components, treating absent components as ''0''. The empty pre-release is the earliest possible pre-release, making ''1.2-'' the earliest possible version in the ''1.2'' series, intended for comparison operand declarations. Build metadata is ignored for comparison as usual.
