[BUG] Moving from version `0.0.XX` to `0.Y.0` creates compatibility issues. about gandlf HOT 2 CLOSED

I believe using Packaging would be a good solution:

>>> from packaging.version import Version
>>> v1 = Version("0.0.19") 
>>> v2 = Version("0.1.0")
>>> v1 > v2
False

This will ensure that we don't have to maintain any custom code. Additionally, if we move to a more formal release schedule (with Alpha/Beta/Gamma/RC versions), we won't need to make any further edits, since this is already covered:

>>> from packaging.version import Version
>>> v1 = Version("0.2.0-Alpha")
>>> v2 = Version("0.2.0-RC")   
>>> v1 > v2 
False
>>> v1 = Version("0.2.0-Alpha5") 
>>> v1 > v2
False
