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.
It has an interesting version symbol to indicate upgrading along a major
version:
~> 1.1.0
That will allow 1.2.0, but not 2.0.0.
Bundler also has the idea of version locking across the transitive closure.
