Beta/release version confusion (Suggestions)

[colin-marshall]

As I'm testing things out here, it is getting hard to know which version of the program I have downloaded and installed for a few reasons:

• When I go to "about" it always says 1.0 even though you're on 0.2 beta 3, so I have no way of knowing which version is actually on my system. Please keep the in-app version # in line with the releases on GitHub.
• Also, releasing multiple revisions under the same version name (0.2 beta 2 for example had 3 updates) is rather confusing because on the Releases page the date remains the same even though it was updated. Would be nice if the beta # was just incremented with every update.
• Also, why not just always include the debug symbols while you are in beta? I wouldn't exactly consider the application stable at this point (sorry if this sounds critical) so it's just one less download/upload for you and your users.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks for the suggestions, and for filing all these issues. Don't worry about coming off as critical!

You are correct, I need to get my act together with versioning and updating, particularly in-app. I will probably go with the many-releases approach instead of updating the releases in-place from here on.

Including debug symbols was an Xcode issue; now that I've figured out how to do it they will be included in all testing releases.

That's great! Thanks for listening.
