Version in JOSS submission does not match GitHub's latest release

[Oscar Esteban]

Here (openjournals/joss-reviews#380 (comment)), version 0.2.2 is reported but the repo's version indicates 0.2. The installation script specifies 0.2.2 (https://github.com/raamana/hiwenet/blob/master/setup.py#L6).

I would suggest the versioneer package to keep track automatically of versions.

Just generating the appropriate git tag (0.2.2) would satisfy this comment, though.

Thanks Oscar. I'm a little confused here. Are you suggesting me to do this or the JOSS maintainers? :) from what I can see the version number on pypi, on JOSS issue and setup script are all the same.

TBH the recent changes have been super minor - like better packaging etc. Once this gets published, version numbers will be much more meaningful with fewer releases of more substantial changes.

I just checked again. From what I can see, the version number on pypi, on JOSS issue and the setup script in the repo here are all the same. Let me know if I am missing something.

Hi @raamana, I just checked the item in the revision list that says:

• Version: Does the release version given match the GitHub release (0.2.2)?

The release version for the submission is 0.2.2 as indicated in that issue, however such version does not exist in your GitHub repo (https://github.com/raamana/hiwenet/releases)

As I said, just (if your git remotes are standard):

git tag 0.2.2
git push origin 0.2.2

would suffice to tick the item.

Additionally, I advised not to manually keep track of versions (and let Git do it) by using some software like versioneer. But that is just a hint and hence, not required for acceptance.

Disclaimer: it could be the case that I misinterpreted that bit of the review checklist, so we can invite @cMadan for clarifications.

Gotcha, my bad, I missed the "release" part altogether :) Fixed it with a new release now. Open this issue again, if I missed something.

thanks for the versioneer suggestion, I will take a look. Manual update is indeed boring and error prone.
