semver.clean() returns null on some version strings about node-semver HOT 3 CLOSED

Yep. That's a bug.

A remove of all unneeded chars at beginning would be great, e. g. for #v1.2.3 too.

Quickfix (untested, but ok for my intend), change var semver

var semver = "\\s*(?:.+?)?\\s*([0-9]+)" // major (ignore all chars before number)
    + "\\.([0-9]+)"                     // minor
    + "\\.([0-9]+)"                     // patch
    + "(-[0-9a-zA-Z]+-?)?"        // build (e.g. "-rc1")
    + "(.+?)?\\s?"                          // tag (everything else, until \s)

But i am not sure about split build and tag, -alpha.1 returns build alpha tag .1

Tilde for separating the prerelease isn't valid according to semver.org. Closing this.
