Recent changes to NewVersion regex break the "-ish" nature of the function - e.g. v24.02.05

This is problematic because many versions are date allocated in dev ops use cases.

NewVersion parsed these correctly before and this change will cause large problems for our existing versions. While not in spec, it is a common usage.

Since there is already the concept of StrictNewVersion and NewVersion, it seems like a bad idea to alter NewVersion like this.

Thoughts?

Just run into a similar issue today after upgrading semver from v3.3.0 to v3.3.1

The version "0.09.00" cannot be parsed any anymore.
We have third party Helm charts which unfortunately have such a version string.
