Semver operator equal or greater than

[dprevost-LMI]

Describe the feature request

Hey, first, nice job supporting the Semantic versioning operator!

Yes, I know it already exists by doing negate of less than, but would it be easy to provide a precise "equal or greater than" so it is easy to read and choose?

Background

This would help us with clarity and readability since it is way easier to understand "equal or greater than" while "negation of less than" kind of needs a second to revert it in my mind!

Having it would remove some ambiguity and make life easier 😄

Solution suggestions

Under the hood, I guess it simply to do the "negate of less than," and it would remove soo much ambiguity.

Thanks!!

We'd also love to have those operators

There's also a subtile but important difference between a real "equal or greater than" and "negation of less than", it's the case when the field is missing.

If the field is empty, it can't satisfy "equal or greater than" while it will always satisfy "negation of less than".

Hey folks, this seems like a pretty good thing to have but this isn't likely something that we'll do right now. I've marked this as "maybe layer" so our bot doesn't close the PR, we'll look into it

This would require us to update all server-sdks, edge and proxy first withe the lte and gtw support. The work in each SDK will be straight forward.

In the Node SDK it would simply be to add two more (if clauses here).

Please consider doing so since it should be simple and make life so much easier and minimize mistaken

An experienced developer just asked me that he was not finding the greater than and had to explain what to use. If only things could be clear 😄

@ivarconr I wonder if the web UI of unleash could translate "GTE" into "not LT" when it sends the feature configuration to the SDK? That way this functionality could be added without requiring SDK updates.

Hey folks, I see lots of interest in this one. Apologies for our bot closing this, I've put a pinned label on this, hopefully that should keep the bot at bay!

We're working on an architecture change that should make this much easier to implement but it's a fairly large project. We haven't forgotten about this, there's just a bit of ground work that needs to be done to make this kind of change easier.
