Versioning Files
################
.. file:: VERSION_CURRENT
This file contains the full version number of the current working copy of the
project. During development, this should be ``x.y.z-dev``. On tagged commits,
this will have the prerelease tag removed.
.. note::
Previously, this file was auto-generated by inspecting the Git history. This
proved to be somewhat finicky and depended on the local Git history to have
all the proper metadata in place, which wasn't always reliable.
.. note::
The version number ``x.y.z`` in this file is read by CMake at configure-time
and is used as the version number for the ``project()`` call in the
top-level ``CMakeLists.txt``
.. file:: etc/prior_version.txt
This file, like `VERSION_CURRENT`, contains a version number string. Instead
of referring to the current working copy version, this refers to the most
recent stable release. This is used by various tasks to "compare" the working
copy against the stable version. This version number should correspond to a
published Git tag.
