I noticed that the version number from the latest download is still 18.1.1-4 although the info claims that it should be 18.1.1-6:

Yes, please update the CFBundleShortVersionString for Cave's Info.plist!

This causes issues with our version detection and complicates application updates for managed environments, such as higher education. We're currently unable to target machines not running 18.1.1-6 because even if they are running the current version, the app presents itself otherwise.

I'd also suggest, humbly, moving to a SemVer based versioning scheme instead of the "dash-tag" currently used. 18.1.1.6 would convey the same information and be more easily compatible with version detection mechanisms.

For an even more specific example, please see the necessity of version number manipulation in my Cave recipe for autopkg.

@haircut thank you for the feedback, I was just about to release a new macOS client and have updated the version number to be correct, and have adopted SemVer formatting. You can download the new DMG at https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/awips2/awips-cave-18.1.1.7.dmg
