Version Strangeness

[behinger]

Hi!
I saw that in your project.toml version is still 0.0.1 - but in registry etc. it is 0.0.2

Maybe this is the reason I always get downgraded to CairoMakie 0.3 (super old) or GLMakie 0.1.3 (superold)?

Try it yourself e.g. in pluto

begin
	using Pkg
	using CairoMakie
	using MakieThemes
	#Figure()
	Pkg.resolve()
	Pkg.update()
	Pkg.status(;outdated=true)
end

⌃ [13f3f980] CairoMakie v0.3.4 [<v0.3.19], (<v0.10.2)

If I manually run ]dev MakieThemes - it works though, indicating something messed up with the versioning - and the Project.toml missmatches, so maybe that is the issue?

Best, Benedikt

So the version in Project.toml is v0.1.0, but I guess it didn't get registered for some reason...

[asinghvi17]

yeah, just opened a registration PR. Should be good to go in some time. Thanks for letting me know!

mh I dont understand - the Project.toml in this repo is still v0.0.1 (in the registry it is actualy 0.0.2 already) - if you now downgrade the registry, wouldnt that lead to some kind of complicatedness - skipping to 0.0.3 wouldnt have?

(this is really just to understand better how version management works in registries etc.)

You might be looking at an old branch? This is the current version:

MakieThemes.jl/Project.toml

Line 4 in e09a6ec

version = "0.1.0"

I've registered the new version in the registry now, it might take a little while to propagate though.

[behinger]

nono, missunderstanding.
I mean this:
https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/M/MakieThemes/Versions.toml

Where there exists a v0.0.2 already. thus everyone will always install the v0.0.2 if you do add MakieThemes

[asinghvi17]

ah yeah, that's because the version 0.1.0 wasn't registered yet - if you take a look at it now, you should see an entry for v0.1.0.

Basically, you have to register the new version of a package when you want to release it. This version is 0.1.0, which is higher than 0.0.2 (think of them not as decimals, but rather as triplets - 0-1-0 is higher in the natural search order than 0-0-2).

Another way you can look at it is as version numbers - v0.0.2 is patch version 2 of minor version 0 of major version 0, whereas v0.1.0 is minor version 1 of major version 0, which is higher.
