Hello,
As a humble user of jQuery and several great plugins I would like to
request that anyone who releases anything to the public always insert
the version of the release in the filename.
Instead of my_cool_plugin.js, use my_cool_plugin.v1.js.
Instead of my_cool_plugin.latest.js, use my_cool_plugin.v1.js.
For keeping track of what file is at which version, it's much easier to
do if I can quickly glance at my js directory and see the version in the
filename.
(This goes for the jQuery team too.)
Regards,
Chris.
I totally understand your point, but I think this isn't practical from a
plugin developer's standpoint and it completely counteracts what version
control is meant to be, e.g. versioning vs. simply adding files with
each new version.
I never took a closer look at how to do that, but Brandon was starting
to tag his plugins which makes more sense to me and better utilizes what
SVN offers to the developer.
