# not be considered compatible if 1.0 is requested.
# This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward compatibility within the
# same major version.
+# If ExactVersion is used, then the package is only considered compatible if the requested
+# version matches exactly its own version number (not considering the tweak version).
+# For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3.
+# This mode is for packages without compatibility guarantees.
# If your project has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to write your
