The SVN revision number does not depend on the release.  Changeset 3735 is the number of changes since we created the vault.  For example, MapGuide 1.0.0 is revision 696.  MapGuide 2.0.0 is revision 3041.  Assuming MapGuide sticks around for a few years, we will eventually  hit 65k revisions.

Do you think we'll ever have > 65000 revisions in one release cycle?  Not being a pessimist, just a realist :-).

I need to start looking at build automation again.  It should be possible to increment the file versions with every build.  We could start at build 1 for each new release and increment the "build number" before each build is performed. The build number would be stored as a file in subversion.

I liked the SVN revision idea but what happens when we hit 65,000 revisions?

I think it would be worthwhile to update the major & minor values each release.

There's a freeware tool called StampVer (http://www.elphin.com/products/stampver.html) which can be used to set version information in DLLs / EXEs.  But it doesn't work on 64-bit modules.

Hi all,

Looking at the code, the .rc files generally do not reflect the current
MapGuide version number.

Is it worth maintaining these manually to keep in sync with at least the
current release major version?

Is there a utility that can be run post-build to update the file
versions embedded in .dlls (and exes?) to reflect something like the
MapGuide version number + SVN revision? (2.1.0.3728)
