Version number of odl

[aringh]

In the setup.py there is a version number given. I think it would be useful, especially later on, to have this version number also explicit in the README file (or somewhere else, easily accessible).

[kohr-h]

Yes. Currently this version number is somewhat preliminary since it does not reflect version tags in the repository. There is only the master branch (plus feature/issue branches), which sort of means "everything is experimental".
We need to decide on a release schedule first, and then we will have proper milestones, version tags in the repo (after the first official release) and version numbers on PyPI.

I agree with @kohr-h, this number is currently quite useless, and once we start using a proper release schedule, we may want to display it in other places, for now I dont think it is needed however.
