investigate exposing git version tags #204

Closed ngwese closed 2 years ago

common pattern on the forum is an author releases a new rev of a script and the user is not sure they are seeing the update. while there are numerous reasons that updates could fail the only sense of script version exposed in maiden is a git hash which is mostly meaningless to the user and doesn’t allow one to gauge whether they are ahead or behind (version wise) from someone else.

consider checking for tags in the git repo and provide the most recent one along with a hash, updating the maiden ui to display that as well
