As far as I could tell, the version numbers are in Properties.py in all cases. I did not spot any hard-coded references elsewhere when I prepared the 0.8 release.On Tue, 2003-02-11 at 08:29, Geoffrey Talvola wrote:Stuart Donaldson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote:In preparing the 0.8 release, rolling the version numbers in the release was one of the painful parts, because of all the places that they occur.

Aren't there also release numbers that show up in Python source, too? At the very least those could be tagged with a comment like ##version## so that they could be grep'ed easily.Version numbers don't need to be hardcoded in the python code. There is an example in Application.initVersions():from MiscUtils.PropertiesObject import PropertiesObject props = PropertiesObject(os.path.join(self.webwarePath(), 'Properties.py')) self._webwareVersion = props['version'] self._webwareVersionString = props['versionString'] This retrieves the version both as a tuple (e.g. 0,8,0) and as a string from the Webware/Properties.py file. I remember fixing up a few of these last fall; we should continue to fix these wherever possible.
The script I used while preparing Beta's and the final release, goes through and updates the Properties.py file as well, since there are several of those to address.
I will go ahead and generate a RelNotes-X.Y file, and start moviing code in this direction.
