version inconsistency?

https://github.com/AIFDR/inasafe/blob/7ae27f8b41668724beec5043c9bc205c150914ff/__init__.py
is there a reason why metadata.txt and version have 0.6.0 but
version():
"""Version of the plugin."""
return 'Version 0.5.0'

I know :-)
What should we call the bleeding edge?

In my opinion we should set version in two places:

#1. safe/init.py, the following way, this is the python-safe version:

version = (0, 6, 0, 'alpha', 0)

#2. metadata.txt (the qgis-safe or inasafe version):

version=0.6.0
status=alpha

Longer version of the response:

Furthermore, and answering the 'bleeding edge' version question, here is
how I think we should be handling it and why I created
safe/common/version.py.

We should call the bleeding edge:

0.6-dev{dateandtime}

this is done automatically when the version string is set as:

version = (0, 6, 0, 'alpha', 0)
get_version(version)
'0.6dev20121002080808'

version = (0, 6, 0, 'beta', 2)
get_version(version)
'0.6b2'

version = (0, 6, 0, 'final', 0)
get_version(version)
'0.6'

This was working before this commit [1](that I did not notice until
yesterday) and I would like to revert:

For the record, below is how python itself handles versioning, and the
version string produced is (or was) compatible with the normalized version
described in PEP386 [2], the code implementing it was borrowed from Django,
and was on that project vetoed by one of the authors of pip.

sys.version_info
sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=2, releaselevel='final', serial=0)

I should also say that versioning is really important to me, as the
different releases of safe-geonode and other tools depending on the core
should really be able to compare the different versions to understand a
requirement like the following, and be able to decide wether or not a
different version should be installed without making our end users wonder
why things are not compatible.

"python-safe>=0.5"

Ariel.
