I've been wondering about CLM versioning issues, and I'll finally bring
the issue up here. Triggered by the fact that today the only way I
could tell if CLM had been updated since the last version I had was to
downloaded the gzip file and gunzip and un tar it and read the History
file.
2nd issue is: I'm releasing tools that use CLM -- so I feel it is
important to be able to say "works with CLM Version X.Y" -- but the
only version number we have is 2. (Though if I request *clm-version*, I
get 16...?)
Actually, any time now that I download CLM, I look in the history file
to figure out the revision date, then I rename the folder on my machine
from clm2 to CLM2-030929 (for example).
Seems it would be easier (and more conventional) to (best) have
numbered or dated releases of CLM...
&/or, (next best)
have the CLM web page at least indicate the date of last revision so
one readily knows whether one should download the new version.
