Versioning / Version check of adaptations

[markusschloesser]

When I installed and ran the new version from today, KK greeted me with "detected user adaptation, overriding inbuilt one" (or similar), which was the one for the sq80 which I downloaded from the discussion here on GH. Now the inbuilt one would have been the newer one, that's why I deleted the user adaptation, so how about:

1. versioning for adaptations
2. notify user of there's a newer one inbuilt

Even though I knew what was happening, when I saw that message I thought that some users might interpret it as an error of some kind, so I agree that perhaps there is a better way to handle this.

Incidentally, the new version 0.9 merely translates names in a nicer way, and has some clean-up work in its comments.

@markusschloesser Agree, but this is a can of worms, really. I try to do the versioning for user-contributed adaptations, because you should really use git (hub) for this. And the versioning is not a straight line of versions, you might have started making changes on an earlier version, then a new version gets build in... this is essentially a fork requiring a 3-way merge instead of just being "newer". Scratching my head here.

[markusschloesser]

mmh, maybe keep it simple in the beginning and use the DATE as the indicator?

[christofmuc]

@markusschloesser So like "this version of KnobKraft has an adaptation that is newer than your local version" as a warning?

[markusschloesser]

Yes, exactly that.

Happy new year to you! 😊
