From eaeb173a4b9b22d8ba1b35d3d863f0dcb8595341 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Ser Date: Thu, 23 Dec 2021 14:58:51 +0100 Subject: build: bump version to 1.8-dev Historically we've been sticking with the last release number in the master branch. However that's a bit confusing, people can't easily figure out whether they're using a release or a work-in-progress snapshot. Only the commit hash appended to the version number may help, but that's not very explicit and disappears when using a tarball. We could bump the version in master to the next release number. However during the RC cycle there would be a downgrade from 1.8 to 1.8-rc1. Also it would be hard to tell the difference between a stable release and an old snapshot. This patch introduces a new pre-release identifier, "dev". It's alphabetically before "rc" so it should be correctly sorted by semver comparisons. "dev" is upgraded to "rc" (and then to stable) when doing a release. The master branch always uses a "dev" version, only release branches use "rc" or stable versions. --- meson.build | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build index 2a271d36..4da9403b 100644 --- a/meson.build +++ b/meson.build @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ project( 'sway', 'c', - version: '1.6', + version: '1.8-dev', license: 'MIT', meson_version: '>=0.60.0', default_options: [ -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
