VA 7.5 - auto version numbering choices

[marten]

I noticed, that in VA 7.5 more or less often when I want to version a configuration map (perhaps also an application) the system shows up a dialog and offers me a new version number (as usual).

In 7.5 this version number is not derived from the configuration map (or in general the object) I want to version (e.g. version 0.8 -> 0.9), but from a selection of versionings (of various objects) I did in the past. The system seems to select the best choice it can get from that list - which has perhaps nothing to do with the object I want to version.

I did not notice this behaviour in previous VASmalltalk versions ... for me this seems to be a strange behaviour.

I can get the original auto numbering behaviour when I clear the list of suggestions.

Hi Marten,

I worked for a bit with RH Linux, but I am not sure I saw the behavior oyou are describing.

I certainly got varied names in the dropdown box, but the suggested selections always seemed to be an increment of the previous version of the map I was versioning; e.g. V 7.5.0 [88]1 rather than "New Version" or "0.9" which were also in the dropdown list.

Could you post some detailed steps to follow so I can try to reproduce the behavior?

Thanks,

Diane

I noticed this under Windows. I had an open edition and the last version was 0.8.

When I wanted to version it I thought it should get 0.9 - but instead I got (prefilled) the version number 0.9.2 (which was in the suggestion list).

I closed the dialog, cleared the suggestion list and I got 0.9 (as expected)

I've noticed this two times yet ...

Do you have any version name template selected other than the system default?

Yes, I used the system defaults - but I think I can narrow the error. I've used in the past more and more the option

Version>>Include subapplications & classes>one name

Could it be, that the software adds the best fit AND the calculated number together and offers this to me.

I just tested it. I created a new application and for this application it offers me for the first version: '1.01.01.0' and '1.01.0' is in the suggestion list and '1.0' would be the normal version.

When I clear the suggestion list I get at once '1.0' for the first version.
