Re: [PyMOL] svn version number is ... ?

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Hi David,

Thanks for pointing out that the splash screen is out of date, we will fix that of course.

Everything else says 1.9.0.0, that is the SVN log, the ChangeLog file, the "get_version" command (given a clean build), etc.

Like Michael already pointed out, the PyMOL 2.0 announcement also announced that the 2.0 features (Qt interface etc.) will be released to Open-Source next year. The recent core feature updates (API changes, settings, bug fixes) have already been released to Open-Source, that's why we incremented the version to 1.9. Hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks also for pointing out the glitch with searching for msgpack/version_master.h, looks like we're not catching all possible exceptions there. Will fix that too. The setup.py script searches the environment variable PREFIX_PATH for headers and libraries, so if you have stuff in /usr/local, then you could export something like PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local:/usr before running setup.py.

Cheers,
  Thomas

Doesn't svn automatically increment its "revision number", or whatever it is called in that system, when each patch is applied?  I did not notice any numbers like that, not even in the "about" display, which shows "1.9.0.0".
