semver VS fswatch

Following the Semantic Versioning rules, you should raise the version number every time you need to publish your library. In your "package.json" file, you need to change the version number to reflect whether the changes are major, minor, or patch updates.

Semantic Versioning: An established convention for version numbers following the pattern MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Increases the major of the latest tag and prints it As per the Semver spec, it'll also clear the pre-release…

The reason for this is that software libraries and package managers, in general, but specifically here, rely on semantic versioning. Semantic versioning is really useful for distributing packages in a predictable way. What does this look like for our project?

I believe neovim follows semantic versioning. https://semver.org/

Semver has been 2.0.0 for 10 years, look at the date of the assets. Multiple releases created today where none existed before. Not sure why someone is creating releases now, perhaps just some housekeeping/cleanup.

All ELRS hardware will talk to all other ELRS hardware, including Radiomaster's ELRS transmitters and receivers. There are one or two exceptions from scummy companies that have been pilloried by the community, and you probably won't find them anymore. So long as the ELRS firmware running on both devices has the same major version number, you're good to go. ie. 3.3.1 will still talk to 3.0.1, but won't talk to 2.0.0. (The "major version" is the 1st number, the "minor version" is the 2nd number, and the "patch version" is the 3rd number. See Semantic Versioning for more info.)

If you're using semver, read the spec it's not overly long or hard to understand.

Semantic versioning actually has a clear rule about this:

Or even better, fswatch (https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch) which works on Linux, BSDs, macOS, Windows, and even Solaris

If you don’t mind shell shell scripting you can use something like fswatch and some shell logic to do something similar.

Well, I am not too lazy to search but I was interested in your experience, especially with reliability.

What about using https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch ?

The required kernel hooks exist in pretty much any common OS these days, it is a user-space tool that is sometimes missing.

It may not be installed by default, but inotifywait is available in common Linux distributions, usually in a package called something like ionotify-tools, and has been for over a decade-ana-half IIRC. It'll work under WSL on Windows too, though only for ext4 devices not bits of the Windows filesystem made available to Linux.

I can't speak to what other OSs include by default, but as every major OS has a different API for defining how to register a lister and how it gets messages no built-in tool is going to be cross platform. There are third party tools which present more cross-platform consistency, most notably https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch#readme (also available in common Linux distros, just an apt install away in Debian for instance).

fswatch is a cross-platform file change monitor. It will watch any files you specify, then run a script on change.

You can do this without polling using a util like fswatch: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

> It watches source files, and regenerates the OpenSCAD files automatically

inotify() is awesome. Here's a library in python that does it.

There's also inotifywatch on linux and fswatch on mac. I'm sure there's alternatives for BSD Unix and Windows, but I care the least about those OS's.

For development it's easy to just ParseFiles before every Execute to be sure you have the latest version. But for production something else is needed, fx watch for changes in files and have this trigger a reload (fx using https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch).
