Include extension version in changelog posts
eminence opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello!
In your weekly "Changelog" posts (which I look forward to every Monday), would you consider adding the vscode extension version number? For example, this week the extension version is v0.2.232, but I'm not sure how to derive that version from either the commit hash or the release name. I think this would help users figure out if their vscode extension has been updated yet or not.
Thanks!
The problem is that we're using a GitHub Actions run identifier for release versioning. We could try to guess the value, but it seems finicky (every once in a while we'll be wrong). So we could either stash the value somewhere and wait for it to appear, or switch to a more predictable versioning scheme (which is also not trivial).
Somewhere along the way, this has been implemented. The latest changelog clearly indicates the extension version 0.3.1394, so I'm closing this issue as Done 🎉
Yeah, they're being added manually. You can keep an eye on rust-lang/rust-analyzer#13967, though.
