POLL: Should we change the version numbers for StreamFX?

  • Include the OBS Studio version in the version number (31.1-1.0b738, 32.0-1.0b744, ...) 18
  • Revert to the old feature level versioning. (0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, ...) 3
  • Somehow mix the old format with the OBS Studio version. (32.0-0.11b746, ...) 6
  • No, keep it as it is. (1.0.0b738, 1.0.0b744, ...) 2
  • I have no strong feelings one way or another. 2

For almost a decade now we've been following a mix between Semantic Versioning and CMake Versioning. We'd love to claim that it's been successful and there's never been an issue, the reality is quite different. Our versioning code is quite flexible so this is mainly a matter of changing how we tag versions.

So we've come up with a few options and since this affects you, you get to vote on it!

I lean toward treating the OBS version more like a build ID than part of the plugin’s version. In theory, one plugin version could build against several different libobs versions to handle ABI differences, and while the file names could reasonably mention those versions, that needn’t be part of the plugin’s own version. Consider just using SemVer. The existing scheme is so close to that already.

We're currently already doing that internally but semver tends to be an unreadable mess for the average end user. :(
