3.0 version not tagged

[bbatsov]

According to the changelog it was released on 2021-09-20. Not sure if the changelog is wrong or someone forgot to properly tag a release. The package metadata heading says 2.3 currently.

Btw, the displayed version is even more incorrect:

I think it should be extracted from the package metadata instead of being duplicated in this string.

I just pushed a patch which uses package-get-version to get the "real" info in Emacs≥27. Regarding 2.3 -vs- 3.0 I'll let the real maintainers decide what should be done.

I've also noticed that the release notes for 2.3 are missing here https://github.com/ocaml/tuareg/releases. I'm not sure if anyone besides @Chris00 can fix this.

This is because there is no 2.3 version and 3.0 has not yet been formally released.

[bbatsov]

@Chris00 Notice the package header, though:

If there was no 2.3 it should probably say something else. I like to use snapshot versions between releases (e.g. 3.0.0-snapshot) and that's a pretty common practice in general.

[Chris00]

I agree. It was updated with the idea of making a release shortly after but the latter did not materialize...

[bbatsov]

@Chris00 The problem is that ELPA cuts releases automatically when you change the version here (to something looking like a stable version) and there's actually a 2.3 release in NonGNU ELPA already because of this https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/tuareg.html

Perhaps it'd be prudent to tag whatever ended up there as 2.3.0 on Git and bump the version number to 3.0.0-snapshot to account for this?

[Chris00]

I've done so. (The problem with having several unrelated release systems...)
