We are looking at potentially using proget to manage both docker images and generic tar.gz archives along with some .net and java developer libraries (nuget/maven).

This question is more around the first part, once we push up docker images and the archives with the appropriate version data (or tag in docker).

Is there a way to say, give the latest version that starts with '1.0.', so if you had the following versions/tags, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.1.1, 1.1.4, it would come back with 1.0.3?

However, if I asked for the latest version of '1.' it would give me 1.1.4?

JFrog Artifactory supports this type of api and that's what proget would be replacing. With artifactory, you just put and asterisk in there to denote the wildcard part.
