Which version does the Zenodo DOI refer too? #2906

Describe the bug The acknowledge popup shows version 6.0.0b1, DOI. Should that DOI be xxx for an alpha and beta? or are we really providing a different doi for these?

smk78 commented 3 months ago

Are we sure the zenodo identifier (10.5281/zenodo.11395968) is correct? Because it doesn't resolve! (This might also explain why some of the other recent versions don't show up on Zenodo?)

Having spoken to @krzywon, I believe it doesn't resolve because that will be the DOI for the final 6.0.0 release which does not yet exist. To some extent this is a beta ... but it still seems wrong to put a DOI in the distributed code (the beta in this case) that does not actually represent the code that DOI is (or will in this case) point to?

Shall we close this if its actually ok? @krzywon

krzywon commented 1 month ago

Future versions of beta releases should have separate DOIs, but for 6.0.0 release, the betas and final release will share a single DOI.
