This release--the first in a while--has been a long time coming! It contains major compatibility updates so that Versio can run easily on everyone's preferred platform.

🪟 A major achievement in this release is to re-enable the Microsoft pipeline, so Windows users can once again get the best and latest in version-management software.

  • We are now able to sign commits and tags with keys from any OpenPGP compatible software, not just GPG. If you've been using GPG with an older version of Versio, read the Signing docs for the latest on how to upgrade.
  • We don't require GPG or any other software to be installed beforehand, and our Installation instructions are greatly simplified because of it.
  • We have switched to using the Microsoft Visual Studio C libraries, instead of the GNU C libraries for our Windows releases. We think that this is a fully backwards-compatible switch, and will allow Versio to be installed on a wider array of Windows machines. It also simplifies our Windows build pipeline, so can keep providing quality releases for our Windows users without further interruption.
  • As always, we've included some minor performance improvements and bug fixes.

New to Versio? The repository is the best place to learn about Versio and what it can do. If you want to report a bug or request a feature, you can do so at our Issues link, but we ask you first read the Troubleshooting page learn about problems and their solutions.

INSTALLATION:

To install, follow the instructions for your platform; some files might be zipped for improved download speed. For example, on MacOS you can do something like this (assuming ~/bin exists and is in your PATH):

curl -L https://github.com/chaaz/versio/releases/download/v0.8.3/versio__x86_64-apple-darwin -o ~/bin/versio
chmod +x ~/bin/versio

MacOS: download versio__x86_64-apple-darwin, copy to versio in your PATH.
GNU Linux 64: download versio__x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, copy to versio in your PATH.
Windows: download versio__x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, copy to versio.exe in your %PATH.

If you have any questions, you should view the Installation page for information about installing and testing dependencies.
