I'd like some proposals for doing the version numbers.
I imagine a (clojure-version) function returning:
{:major 1 :minor 0 :release 0}
or something. We've had some prior discussions about how to do the svn
rev with no conclusion - most things seemed incredibly hackish, didn't
work for people building with different tools or from a git mirror
etc.
If there is just a (def *version* {:major 1 :minor 0 :release 0})
my questions are:
What happens after release to keep subsequent interim versions from
having the same 'version' as a release? Should we have a :status
attribute that is :release for releases and :interim for non?
I'd like to move forward on 1.0 with what we have now, and take the
most pressing wish list items raised in this discussion under
consideration for 1.1.
