I have seen multiple users who run nightlies think they have RC2 because they read "5.0.0-rc2" and stop reading after that :-) Maybe we should switch the tag back to "5.0-dev" between RC releases? I think all of us developers are going to look up the git hash anyway to know exactly when a given version was built, so the "rc2-dev" information isn't super necessary for me at least.
By the way, it's probably annoying to change this because I imagine there are scripts that depend on it, but I wish the git hash didn't have a "g" in front of it, since if I just double-click that portion of the version string I have to manually remove the "g" before pasting it elsewhere to look up the hash. -Jon On Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 10:11 AM, Wayne Stambaugh <stambau...@gmail.com> wrote: > The version string should look like 5.0.0-rc2-dev-176-g53c9143b6 or > 5.0.0-rc2-dev.
