--version reports incorrect version number

[tisba]

I build avocado from TAG 0.3.4

$ avocado --version
0.3.3

Version number is currently generated manually when a new version is pushed to github.
Is anyone aware of whether there is a smarter way to generate the version number?

In my projects the version number is included in a special file. On a new release there is a "bump version to X.Y.Z" commit and a new tag is created. IMHO bumping the version number and creating the tag should be part of an (automated) release process.

The version number is currently taken from configure.ac.
Tag 0.3.6 is available which should have a fix for the version number.

it looks like the --version issue is already fixed in v0.3.5. thx.

0.3.9 does report a wrong version again :(
