qTox version number

[nweyand]

When downloading qTox from the website, the file should be named something like setup-qtox-v1.7.0 instead of only setup-qtox, as this would allow to download new versions to the same folder without overwriting the previous installer.

Also, it would allow to determine the version number of an installer at first glance, which is quite nice to have. ;)

This would also help to maintain the Chocolatey Package.

@tux3 do you think you can implement this? Maybe replace setup-qtox-latest with a link to the current version.

Ditto for macOS release qTox-1.8.1.dmg with qTox-1.8.1.dmg.sig file as well.

By the way, how up-to-date are the recent non-Linux builds, actually?

At least under Windows, the toxcore version number seems to get updated every now and then, while qTox itself is stuck at "v1.7.0".

By the way because here on github it's present 1.8.1 and latest for windows it's 1.7.0 from site.....

[DjDiabolik]

Now it's setup-qtox-1.8.1.exe....... but on version inside "Info about qtox" i continue to read 1.7.0... it's normal ?

Add a feature to check upgrade directly from app........... i thinks it's a good.

[Hasshu]

Looks like it just appends the version number of the latest release, instead of the build's actual one.

@tux3 Is that the expected behavior?

[tux3]

@Hasshu Yes, and those should match. What were you expecting instead?

[Hasshu]

@tux3 Hmm... They do match now. You see, I downloaded the "v1.8.1" installer soon after #4177 was merged, but it actually contained an older version, for some reason (see also what @DjDiabolik said above).

[tux3]

@Hasshu It might have been still building on the server when you downloaded it, my apologies for announcing it a bit too soon then!

[Hasshu]

@tux3 Ah, no worries. The proper build is up now, so it's fine.

[DjDiabolik]

I can confirm i have upgrade to 1.8.1 about one or two days ago.....
