minversion should return true for a final release if required version is 1.00dev #5814
Description
I'm trying to update the conda-forge package with numpy 1.12, conda-forge/astropy-feedstock#7
This fails because of the function call minversion('numpy', '1.12dev'). There is a type Error in the final comparison. I assume parse_version doesn't strip the dev. I would be nice if minversion would allow that minversion('package', '1.00dev') returns true if the release version of the package is installed.
