CLgen Version Numbering

The installed version is available from the command line:

$ clgen --version

or from the API:

>>> import clgen
>>> clgen.version()

CLgen uses a <major>.<minor>.<micro>[.<dev>] version numbering scheme. E.g.

• clgen 0.3.1 means major release 0, minor release 3, micro release 1.
• clgen 0.2.10.dev0 means development version 0 of major release 0, minor release 2, micro release 10.

CLgen uses versioned caches, using the path ~/.cache/clgen/<major>.<minor>.x. This means that caches between different micro and development releases are shared.

Release Schedule

There is no formal release schedule, but released versions follow the rough guidelines:

• Development releases (e.g. 0.1.1 to 0.1.1.dev0) are not tagged, so there is no “curl one-liner” installation scripts. They may be installed only by cloning the development repository. There may be multiple development releases per micro release.
• Micro releases (e.g. 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2) micro releases (and all other release types) are tagged, so that they may be installed using versioned install-{deps,cpu,cuda}.sh scripts. Changes between micro releases may include bug fixes, refactors, and changes to command line and API usage.
• Minor releases (e.g. 0.1.3 -> 0.2.0) any change which breaks compatibility of filesystem caches (e.g. everything under ~/.cache/clgen/<major.<minor>.x) must require a minor release.
• Major releases (e.g. 0.10.23 -> 1.0.0) Who knows? This is still alpha software. Maybe a major release will be the time I sell the company and retire to the Bahamas. Thank you for participating in our incredible journey.
