Version Numbers

Sloodle has two separate version numbers, both of which are important. You can find out which version of Sloodle you are running by visiting your Sloodle Module Configuration page, or by visiting the Sloodle Version Linker.

Sloodle Version

The "Sloodle Version" number is usually very small, such as 0.19 or 0.2. It indicates the 'generation' of Sloodle, which is usually used to mark fairly major releases. For example, the move from the 0.1x generation up to 0.2 saw huge changes in the communications format. (See the Version History section below for more info.) This number is shown in the footer of the optional Sloodle Menu Block.

Module Version

The "module version" is given in the "version.php" file in the Sloodle source code. It is required for any Moodle module, and indicates the exact date when the module was last changed, and also contains a revision number for that day. It follows this format:

YYYYMMDD##

(The ## is the 2-digit release number, allowing up to 100 releases per day). This number will change quite frequently - whenever there is a change made to the module.

For programmers, the "version.php" file is version-managed by Subversion. Whenever you want to commit a change to the repository, make sure your "version.php" file is totally up-to-date first, then make sure the version number in there is on the right date, and increment the revision number if necessary (unless it is the first revision that day). You must commit the "version.php" file along with all your other changes, in a single commit. (Any additional changes should increment the revision number again).

Note: these revision numbers are unrelated to repository revision numbers.
