increase version to avoid confusion with easybook/geshi

[splitbrain]

easybook/geshi was the defacto standard for installing geshi via composer for quite a while (eg. it still has more downloads at packagist and is suggested first when searching for geshi). They applied some fixes in their fork and increased their version number. They are currently at 1.0.8.18

This repository has all the fixes they have (as far as I can see) and more. To avoid confusion about which is the more up-to-date release, the official version should be bumped. I would argue that dropping the PHP4 support warrants a 1.0.9 release, but everything higher than 1.0.8.18 should do.

Turns out there are things in easybook that are missing here. See #80

We'll release a new version once the main issues are solved.

[splitbrain]

what's the status here? can we get a new release?

[cweiske]

I did not yet merge the doc changes.
New version will arrive within the next couple of weeks.

The git repo is prepared for 1.0.9.0. I've contacted @BenBE to get the release rolling (sourceforge, pear channel, git tag).

Currently coordinating things with @cweiske regarding the next release(s).

Regarding versioning in forks: If you ABSOLUTELY MUST make up your own version numbers please use Debian versioning format (1.0.8.12+forkname5), git describe style (1.0.8.12-23-g4711abc) or a combination thereof (1.0.8.12+forkname5-g00dc0de). Doing so helps with relating code bases for users.

On to the releases: Planned are two releases:

• Version 1.0.8.13 to include almost all currentyl unreleased changes
• Version 1.0.9.0 to include a compatibility bump to require PHP 7+

With the version 1.0.9.0 in the pipeline the confusion regarding the easybook versions of GeSHi.

Both releases should become available during the course of this week.

[splitbrain]

1.0.8.13 will still be smaller than easycode's 1.0.8.18 which defeats the purpose of this ticket.

[splitbrain]

BTW. there's a tag missing for 1.0.8.13 - packagist is still listing 1.0.8.12

Backlog of other projects/tasks on my list slowed things down somewhat. Should be resolved soon.

GeSHi 1.0.9.0 is on packagist now: https://packagist.org/packages/geshi/geshi#v1.0.9.0
