#6 Confusion about versioning
Hi,
there's some confusion about what the current version fo FreeWRL is:
- On https://freewrl.sourceforge.io/, the "Latest News" says 6.5
- The sourceforge files page http://sourceforge.net/projects/freewrl/files/, as referenced by https://freewrl.sourceforge.io/download.html, says (on Linux) "Download Latest Version freewrl-3.0.0.tar.bz2"
- Going into the freewrl-linux subdirectory on the download page says 4.0
- The latest version with a tag in the git repository is "version_610", so I presume 6.1.0
- There's a commit on the develop branch https://sourceforge.net/p/freewrl/git/ci/b3254b11e9e340b08eb5b38ccc1a34785693261e/ entitled "Version 6.7"
- Repology https://repology.org/project/freewrl/versions says 1.22.12-pre2 is the latest and labels everything newer than that as "fake"
From all I can tell, 6.7 is the current version, but there's no download for it and no tag in git - so I presume the right thing for a Linux distro like ours (OpenMandriva) is to download git tag b3254b11... and call it 6.7?

I was the last person tinkering, and I'm not disciplined with tags etc, but the version 6.7 is the last thing I numbered for windows .msi installation and the currently checked in git code. I have not maintained linux or mac variants for years (about 5 years?), working on windows exclusively, so you'll very very likely have to tinker to get it to build on linux, in particular it might complain about not enough source files being included in the build for the libfreewrl component.
LMK if you would like to become a freewrl maintainer.
Q. has linux gone to containerized apps yet, should the next thing we do be a container app and if so what container technology / system?
