<p>Although it has a slightly different focus, I advise reading up on Bundler, the Ruby library versioning tool created by Yehuda Katz to bring sanity to rails plugins.</p>
<p>It has an interesting version symbol to indicate upgrading along a major version:</p>
<p>~> 1.1.0</p>
<p>That will allow 1.2.0, but not 2.0.0.</p>
<p>Bundler also has the idea of version locking across the transitive closure.</p>
