Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The semver standard does support, for example, build numbers that are indicated by a plus sign (e.g. as in 1.2.3+4). The regex in the info.xsd does not allow them. There are two regex on semver.org that could be used: https://semver.org/#spec-item-10

[edward-ly]

Come to think of it, I'm not sure why the build part was omitted to begin with. Although to be fair, the last change was made 8 years ago.

Anyway, if I have time, I'll see if it's possible to add it in.

Append: I guess one thing to keep in mind would be that multiple build releases in a row may not be guaranteed to stay in the same order (we'd have to reply on upload time to figure that out) since the build part is ignored in version comparisons.
