Re: [Kicad-developers] The version string in the master branch

Dates do not convey useful branch information which is important from a developer point of view. It seems to me that 5.1.0-dev would sort before 5.1.0-rc1 or am I missing something? Would one of our package devs care to comment. If this sorts properly, I will change the kicad version and repo ta

Re: [Kicad-developers] The version string in the master branch

Why not just use the date at which the nightly was compiled? So something like dev-snapshot--mm-dd_g23849572 This is sortable and it should confuse nobody. On 24/07/18 23:58, Eeli Kaikkonen wrote: ti 24. heinäk. 2018 klo 22.59 Wayne Stambaugh (stambau...@gmail.com

Re: [Kicad-developers] The version string in the master branch

If we are fine with 5.1-dev (it is my preference as well), then I'll set the tag to 5.1-dev and update KiCadVersion.cmake before the end of the day. The reason I used 6.0.0-rc1 is that there were complaints that the #.#-dev format was confusing. Let's agree on a tagging scheme and stick with it t

I think 5.1-dev is simple and informative enough. Cheers, Orson On 07/24/2018 02:09 PM, Adam Wolf wrote: > Hmm. When would it be the right time to change from post5 to pre6? > > Adam > > On Tue, Jul 24, 2018, 2:41 AM Eeli Kaikkonen > wrote: > >> The version string which is the visible versio

[Kicad-developers] The version string in the master branch
