Compiz git still at 0.5.5?

[shame]

Compiz git is still showing version 0.5.5 for me, according to configure.ac

Is this correct, shouldn't it now be 0.6.1 or something following the stable release or am I missing something?
dnl compiz package version number
dnl An odd micro number indicates in-progress development.
dnl An even micro number indicates a released version.
m4_define(compiz_version_major, 0)
m4_define(compiz_version_minor, 5)
m4_define(compiz_version_micro, 5)

Pure guessing here...
I think I've read somewhere that although it shows 0.5.5 it is really 0.6.2, I'm almost sure I've read it before.
Try clicking the 'about' in cssm and see what it shows.

Cheers.

About CCSM only shows the CCSM version number (0.6.99), NOT the compiz version number.

Running compiz --version still shows it as 0.5.5. I think it should be 0.7.0 or something (not 0.6.1 as I said before).

I had problems with this and libcompizconfig on my laptop
It still has the version of 0.5.2 when I install it from 0.6.0 git and so when I try to compile other things it complains that 0.5.2 is installed, rather than 0.6.0

.....
(even though it works on my main computer........
Though I haven't tried it for a while on my laptop, so it may have been fixed by now...)

For me it is no problem. Work better and faster. It is more important for me. But i think it should be ranamed to 0.7.x :)

So is there some particular reason the compiz master version still hasn't been bumped?

I could easily bump it myself for my repo but I would rather keep in line with the numbers according to the devs.

If I recall correctly, versions of Compiz after 0.5.2 introduced architectural changes to the core, such as a dependency on libX11-xcb, that would make it incompatible with contemporary Linux distributions that aren't yet so cutting edge. 0.6.0 was brached off from 0.5.2 just before those architectural changes took effect, so 0.6.x is like the stable branch of the 0.5.x development effort.

Version 0.5.5 is actually newer than 0.6.2. Judging from the 0.6.99 number attached to Compiz Fusion components, the 0.5.x series may be released as 0.7 at some point.

The version number will be bumped to 0.7.0 on the next release. We just don't want to change the version number without a release. 0.5.4 should have been named 0.7.0, but hey, now it's too late ;)

meh, I don't see why it's too late. It's causing problems with compizconfig-python :(. Well, the build tells me to get a libcompizconfig >= 0.6.99. And I still get it when updating and rebuilding libcompizconfig. (Oh well, I hacked away around it ages ago. Just letting you know for some users)

The compiz version number is _completely_ unrelated to the libcompizconfig version number, which is at 0.6.99 for git head.
An
autoreconf -v --install --force
should solve the problem.

OK, Thanks
