Different versions #113

Why do the versions on PyPI and in the changelog start with a zero, e.g. 0.4.7, but the tags start with a 2, e.g. 2.4.7?

Hi @dotlambda ,

This discrepancy in the versioning has been in the code base since the transition to what was called Blockstream Satellite 2.0 in 2020. The Python package and the corresponding PyPI package have been versioned as 0.x.y since then, but the tags have been 2.x.y because the tags from before Satellite 2.0 were numbered 1.x.y. In contrast, the Python package did not exist when Satellite 1.0 was used, so it ended up starting from scratch (and versioned 0.x.y) with Satellite 2.0.

This is only the history of the code base for your understanding. We plan on bumping the Python package major version from 0 to 2 to make the tags consistent with the package version in future releases.

Please let us know if you have any problems downloading or installing these.
