What is the version? #18

Open teknowledgist opened 4 years ago

teknowledgist commented 4 years ago

I'm confused.

If I go to the font "home" and download/unzip the .TTFs, they have file versions of 1.10.
If I go to the GitHub page from the "About" page and download the .TTFs, they also have file versions of 1.10, but they were loaded under a PR with a name indicating they are v1.101.
If I go to the Source page referenced from the GitHub page and download the .TTFs, they have a file version of 2.01.
None of them have the same checksums, and neither of the repositories is a fork of the other.
None of them have release notes.

Which is the official release, and what is the version?

So... Is there a version number for this source? Was the reference in the commit to include a version number in the next release? Any comments on the relationship between the Google Fonts home page and the two GitHub repos?

Thanks.

@teknowledgist Have you found what is the latest version of Open Sans?

After much digging around and comparing, I came to the conclusion that the version of the font downloadable here is 2.010. See the Chocolatey package here

Unfortunately, I didn't take notes on how I reached that decision, but IIRC, I found a tool that would give me all the metadata on font files. I can't remember what/where that tool is, but I compared a bunch of open font files with clearly documented version numbers and the field in the files here that matched indicated they were v2.010.
