Latest Release Labeling (and on Front Page) #6389
-
|
I am a big big fan of the new Releases Page and I just discovered a nice thing today which is that I had to release a version based on an old minor version today and I saw that on my Releases page the actual latest Semver release is on top: Huzzah! 🎉 That said, I'd prefer the green "Latest" label/icon to actually point to the latest Semver and not the latest-in-date release. Also it would be really nice if the front page of the repo would also reflect that. Unfortunately, it seems to be going by date rather than by Semver as well: I can understand why GitHub does this as chronological order is a valid sort. Maybe if when we make a release, we could have a third checkbox question a la: but where it says:
and by default it could be checked, but if we release a bugfix on an old branch, we could unselect that box? |

Hey @mathomp4 thanks for opening this discussion! Definitely with you that we need to rethink / improve the behavior of "latest"... especially based on how we handle the sort for releases made on the same day. In fact we were going to have the latest release show full bleed rather than abridged but dropped that from a set of changes this week because the latest release currently is not consistently at the top of the page. Working through the behavior of latest and coming up with something more reliable / consistent is something we have queued up to tackle next sprint... but we are still not 100% exactly how it will land. I'll keep you up to date as we progress and reference this discussion as we scope it! |

@MylesBorins I think this might have broken again. 😦 I just released a v2.8.0.1 (don't ask) on a repo whose actual "latest" release is v2.15.0. But when you go to the site: https://github.com/GEOS-ESM/MAPL/ it says that 2.8.0.1 is the "latest" release when it only is in time, not SemVer. |
