Use git information to show stable versions in banner

jpellegrini commented 1 year ago

See issue #515

When compiling from a git checkout, a stable version will be detected and included in git-info.h
In runtime.stk there is a new procedure, stklos-stable?, that will tell if this STklos binary was compiled from a stable release
In repl.stk, we use this to make the banner more informative: After creating a "10.1" tag for the current commit and reconfiguring and compiling STklos, we have:

  \    STklos version 10.1
   \   Copyright (C) 1999-2023 Erick Gallesio <eg@stklos.net>
  / \  [Linux-6.1.0-5-amd64-x86_64/pthreads/readline/utf8]
 /   \ Type ',h' for help

If we delete the tag, reconfigure and compile again,

  \    STklos version post-1.70 (git commit fefabbde)
   \   Copyright (C) 1999-2023 Erick Gallesio <eg@stklos.net>
  / \  [Linux-6.1.0-5-amd64-x86_64/pthreads/readline/utf8]
 /   \ Type ',h' for help

The stklos-stable? procedure can be cleaned up a bit - but the idea is there...

@egallesio this one is not necessary anymore - right?

You're right. Closing it.
