Thank you for the report.

What is your workflow in which this is a problem? Just to understand the process behind it. I will adapt the version soon.

No, no problems at all :-) I'm using the library for almost a year now and never experienced any bugs. Anyway, I decided to update it to the latest released version and when I was looking into the CMakeLists.txt I noticed the version number there. I was then a little bit confused, what version I'm using.

So I think it is a good idea to keep the version numbers in sync, otherwise it can cause confussion.

Thanks for your great work!

I am unsure how to probably fix this issue. I think I have 3 options:

  1. drop the version parameter at all since Git is all we need
  2. update it BEFORE every new release - somewhat strenuous, for something I don't know what it is used for
  3. try to get the version from git tag - but CMake only allows Major.Minor.Patch - how to handle - intermediate versions?
