I have not tested it, but looking at the code, it seems to be reasonably 
intelligent and handling major, minor, patch levels, as well as 
prerelease versions.

	// Quick comparison if a version has no prerelease versions
	if len(v.Pre) == 0 && len(o.Pre) == 0 {
		return 0
	} else if len(v.Pre) == 0 && len(o.Pre) > 0 {
		return 1
	} else if len(v.Pre) > 0 && len(o.Pre) == 0 {
		return -1
	}

So the version number 0.15.0-rc.1 would have len(v.Pre) > 0, and thus be 
considered less than 0.15.0, with len(v.Pre) == 0.
