latest tag

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Feature Description

There is any particular reason for not to have a latest tag? It will be nice to have it so we don't need to keep changing our stacks just rolling a new release will be fine. Excuse my ignorance if there is an strong reason for it besides restrict versions.

We've answered this before, but the short of it is that it's bad practice and we don't want to support it. It may not be so in your case, but "just rolling a new release" can have huge implications on many users. Best thing to do is thread the version through your code and when there's a release you want to get to, just set bump that parameter. You can measure your own risk that way.
