Versioning inconsistency

[protist]

According to tags, the latest stable release is 3.2.0. However, after installing, the version reported is different.

$ phyml-mpi --version
. command-line: phyml-mpi --version 
. This is PhyML version 20160529.

For package management and users knowing if they were up-to-date, I was wondering if these two could be synchronised, please?

I just upgraded to v3.2.20160529 according to the tags. However, the command-line version is slightly different.

$ phyml-mpi --version

. command-line: phyml-mpi --version 

. This is PhyML version 3.2.20160530.

I'll take a closer look at all this within the next couple of days.

I've posted a new release. This has tag 3.2.20160530, which should be consistent with what you get from phyml --version. The versionning in PhyML has been a real mess in the past. I intend to stick to the format used here, i.e., majorversion.minorversion.date, from now on.
Hope that make sense,

Thank you for that! However, after installing the latest release (tagged 3.2.20160530), the command line version is still off by one.

$ phyml-mpi --version

. command-line: phyml-mpi --version 

. This is PhyML version 3.2.20160531.

I built this at local time 31 May, so I'm not sure if that is relevant.

Is there some way to find the numeric version number of an older version?
i.e., I have a version from this commit: bdd18a0
I know the "date" version, but need the numeric version for a publication.

$ phyml --version

                                                                         │
. This is PhyML version 20151007.

@averagehat I investigated a bit further, also in relation to my (unanswered) comment above. It seems that the version supplied by $ phyml --version is just the date of the build, so for a publication, it's probably not very informative. I can't really help you with the version of the commit, but if it's untagged, you'd probably just have to reference the commit string anyway?

@stephaneguindon I rebuilt and installed the latest version, and now it's showing a different internal version, which is derived from today's date.

$ phyml-mpi --version

. command-line: phyml-mpi --version 

. This is PhyML version 3.2.20160622.
