version constraint

[/vɜːrʒən kənˈstreɪnt/]
nounpl: version constraints
restrição de versão
1. A specification that defines which versions of a software package, library, or dependency are acceptable or compatible for use in a project
The version constraint '>=1.0.0 <2.0.0' ensures the library remains compatible with the project.
A restrição de versão '>=1.0.0 <2.0.0' garante que a biblioteca permaneça compatível com o projeto.
2. A rule or condition used in package managers to control which specific releases of a package can be installed
In npm, you can set version constraints using semantic versioning syntax.
No npm, você pode definir restrições de versão usando a sintaxe de versionamento semântico.
This is technical jargon primarily used in software development communities globally. It became increasingly important with the rise of open-source package managers like npm, pip, and Maven. Brazilian and Portuguese software developers use the same terminology as their English-speaking counterparts, though 'restrição de versão' is the localized term in documentation and professional communication.
