New releases of python-semver don't support comparing VersionInfo objects with strings.

@kszucs the underlying cause is constructor changed. The compare method would automatically call parse and that would try to construct a Version object, but since the signature changed it would break.

I was thinking about opening a PR, but I would need some input from you if what I was thinking was actually the direction that should be taken. I had the following diff, but I wasn't sure if Version objects should be compared to non version objects because they would not have the release/release_date properties. That was already an issue, and while I hadn't tested this yet (I just pinned semver in the PR I was working on), I believe it will work.

         )

Additionally semver should be pinned to semver > 2.10.2
