Documentation Around Version Numbers

[cdbessig]

I believe some clarity around this would be good. For example, I read that 19.4.1 should be used as per here.

However, when I place that on top of my magento code (just a zip file download and a copy over), in the admin panel I get Magento ver. 1.9.4.4.

If I go to the github repo and just do git clone https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts.git then copy the files over I get Magento ver. 1.9.4.5

I never see anything like 19.4.1. Worse off, when I git clone https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-lts.git I got commits from today. I was under the assumption that a LTS version should have released versions and not just pull in all of the latest commits.

My recommendations here are as follows:

• Establish true documentation on how to upgrade / version numbers / etc.
• Add an OpenMage LTS version number in the footer of admin above or below current magento version. (Or replace completely, if allowed by liscense)

Maybe I am just confused, or perhaps this will confuse others as well.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes I think it needs updating as didn't work for me either. Using "19.4.x" (which took from the further instructions link) did and I'm now on version 1.9.4.5 from Magento's point of view. I've created a pull request #992 to amend the README.md which hopefully is correct and will get accepted if so.

Thanks,

Ed

Agree, there's the need for a more clear documentation about the versioning.

1st

• current instruction for composer install is wrong and need to be fixed
• install instructions at openmage.org was not up to date (didnt match current release) - is fixed

2nd

• OpenMage version was added to footer with Update admin footer #1014

Actually working on this ...
