[BUG] BOSL2 Version Not Incrementing #1404

Open AUnicyclingProgrammer opened 8 months ago

AUnicyclingProgrammer commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug I downloaded the latest version of the library today (3/9/2024), version 2.0.716. This never version has more functionality than the previous version I downloaded on on 2/19/2024, that version had the same version number: 2.0.716.

Expected behavior I expected the version number to change after downloaded the latest version of the library, even it if was only to version 2.0.717.

Additional context This bug was mentioned in Issue 1036

OpenSCAD Version: 2024.02.22 (git 2eb528b27)
Other libraries used: None

The automatic version number increment feature that was implemented turned out to cause a bunch of problems, so Revar backed it out.

Is there a proposed solution to this issue in the works? I'd imagine that having an up to date version number makes many troubleshooting tasks easier.

If there isn't a proposed solution in the works, perhaps you could create a new release every Sunday at 12:00 a.m. with a naming scheme such as Version 2.0_week# or Version 2.0.mm_dd_yy. (Assuming there is a way to auto-create releases using some form of GitHub automation)
