2 things to look at

  • 18 days oldThe repository was created 18 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
  • 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Keep product version consistent across assembly, UI, installer, updater, and git tags. Use when versions drift, release notes mismatch, or auto-update compares wrong strings.

SemVer and Version Sync

Single source of truth

Pick one:

  • Directory.Build.props <Version>
  • Or tag-only (CI injects) — then local dev shows 0.0.0-dev

Surfaces that must match

  • Assembly / InformationalVersion
  • UI footer ("v2.0.2")
  • Inno MyAppVersion
  • Updater comparison baseline
  • Git tag vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
  • CHANGELOG section header

Release workflow

  1. Bump version in props
  2. Update CHANGELOG
  3. Commit release: X.Y.Z — short reason
  4. Tag vX.Y.Z and push tags
  5. Verify Release assets sizes and notes

Pitfalls

  • UI hardcodes 2.0.2 while props still 2.0.1
  • Tag on wrong commit after amend/rebase
  • Prerelease tags without clear channel

Acceptance

  • Grep for old version finds nothing relevant
  • Updater considers equal versions "up to date"
