Version Fiasco!

[slifty]

Our version numbers are kind of out of control. The repo has the following versions listed depending on where you look:

0.3.0 (branch version)
1.0.0 (version listed in application.properties)
0.0.1 (this may just be local to me...)
v3 (version in the URL)
Version 2 (version in the repo description)

Proposed resolutions:

• I'd like to see the application.properties field automatically updated OR removed until we get to the point where we figure out an automated solution
• Dev versions should be merged back to master (since I think it's master) and tagged with 3.0.0 since we are not actually in 0.*
• URL stays the same
• repo description removes any mention of version.

I've started working on this, based on the plan @slifty originally proposed in this thread. So far I have done the following:

• Merged feature-compass_schema into 0.3.0.
• Merged 0.3.0 into master, resolving a trivial conflict in API.md.
• Tagged resultant commit 902e18c as 3.0.0.
• Created new milestone branch 3.1.0.

We still need to archive these branches so they don't distract us (typically I do that by putting them in the archive/ tag namespace, but will look around to see if any better conventions have arisen):

• Oauth2.0.1
• Oauth2.0.1---Ashaar
• 0.2.1
• feature-heroku
• feature-logs
• demo-client
• feature-errors

Once the above is done I'll see if anything remains in this issue, but I think that will address most of it. Possibly we should either update the version number in src/main/resources/application.properties.example to "3.1.0" or we should stop maintaining a version number there altogether.

Okay, the application.properties thing is now tracked in issue #40, and all those old branches have been moved to archival tags:

0.2.1                   -->  archive/0.2.1
Oauth2.0.1              -->  archive/Oauth2.0.1
Oauth2.0.1---Ashaar     -->  archive/Oauth2.0.1---Ashaar
demo-client             -->  archive/demo-client
feature-compass_schema  -->  archive/feature-compass_schema
feature-errors          -->  archive/feature-errors
feature-heroku          -->  archive/feature-heroku
feature-logs            -->  archive/feature-logs

Closing this issue.
