Summary0001325: Use semver-compatible version numbers for pre-releases
Description

Currently, the RC versions report a version like "2.4.0RC3". Semver specifies that a pre-release tag must be seperated with a hyphen, like "2.4.0-RC3", see http://semver.org/#spec-item-9

This imposes problems because I try to parse the version number in my debug extension as a semver version to find out if I can enable specific features, but the release candidate versions throw errors when trying to parse them. Please use semver-compatible pre-release tags in the future.

TagsNo tags attached.
Operating System
PHP Version7.0.5-7.0.9

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/peclversioning/solution2 says

"Note that the PEAR installer cannot recognize hyphens in a package version string"

And the PEAR documentation (used for installing packages) has examples at:
