Use a stable app version number #184

Closed leoliu closed 2 years ago

leoliu commented 4 years ago

I want to use gproc git master however unlike other projects it has a volatile version number. For example the gproc app directory in my release is gproc-0.8.0+build.360.ref378bd274. This seems to have little use and always gets in the way because it changes constantly. For locking versions rebar.lock already does and for the whole project. Thanks for consideration.

It changes if the latest commit to master changes. It is useful information that tells you this isn't version 0.8.0 but is a version after it at commit ref 378bd274.

For me It proves cumbersome having the version number changed on every commit. So soon after reporting this bug I have reverted to gproc from hex to have peace of mind :)
