Thank you for your work on Cppcheck! I am having trouble figuring out what the latest version is, though.
I see references to version 2.12.1 in the forum, but, confusingly the cppcheck website lists 2.12 as the latest version with download links pointing to files with 2.12.0 in their names.
What is the latest official release version? Is it still 2.12.0 linked from the website? How is 2.12.1 is different from 2.12.0?
See https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/releases/tag/2.12.1
Thank you for the answer -- I understand the difference between the two versions now. Given that the difference is a bug fix, shouldn't the official release version be updated to 2.12.1 (including the download links on the website)?
Yeah there is a release process that takes time for me. set versions, create packages, update links, write release notes, update milestones in issue tracker, and more ...
I would recommend that you use 2.12.1 now if you have the choice but a 2.13 should be released soon also.
