I've noticed that nobody has been incrementing the version of the Emacs package for quite a while:

I see its changelog is part of the main Merlin changelog, so shouldn't it get a new version tagged every time Merlin is released?

Things look a bit funny as the MELPA releases use the tags from the repo, so despite the version header you'd get:

This version metadata is important for other package archives (e.g. NonGNU ELPA) where it would be nice to add Merlin at some point.

Sounds like a good idea; version in the Elisp sources can probably be replaced by %%VERSION%% as Merlin is already using dune subst to subtitute these symbols at release time.

Does dune subst applies to any file in a project ? Even non-OCaml ones ?
