Release and version numbering #267

Closed femtotrader closed 4 years ago

femtotrader commented 6 years ago

Hello,

qstrader currently don't have any release https://github.com/mhallsmoore/qstrader/releases

When doing software development it's generally a good idea to tag release with version numbering. Ideally version numbering should follow semantic versioning https://semver.org/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning

Doing this will help a lot readers of your books as they could be sure to use the right version of software (the same exact version that was used when writing your books)

Kind regards

Hi @femtotrader,

Thank you for the suggestion to use SemVer.

We had planned to utilise SemVer going forward with the new development version (https://github.com/mhallsmoore/qstrader/tree/development).

The first version for release will be 0.1.0.

Kind regards,

Mike.
