No...that number does not increment...it's basically random with git (it's a
hash value). It's just the first 6 digits of the "commit" line which is a
hexadecimal number
There is a means to making an increment version # but it's not frequently used
-- basically one way is to count the # of log entries.
As long as your version matches the most recent log entry 6-digit number you're
current. And yes...it's not a very good system as one can't say "ensure you
are at least version X".

I have enjoyed building and testing WSJT-X developmental releases over the
past few years and would like to continue to do so. I understand that the move
to GitHub has required some changes to the JTSDK build process and I have
followed Greg Beam's excellent instructions and have successfully built the
application. A build today (7/9/2018) results in WSJT-X 1.9.2-devel with a
number 308245 in the "About WSJT-X" screen. May I assume that the number 308245
(in this case) is a build number which will increment as commits are
implemented by the developers (similar to the previous release number)?
Greg has also indicated that one can see the history of the various commits by
running Git log...is this the best way to view these commits or is there a
GUI-based list that is accessible?
Does the WSJT-X 1.9.2 build 308245 implement all of the commits shown in the
Git log run today?
Thanks!
