![]() When we're developing software, for our own products or for our clients, we have always been diligent about managing the version numbers of our compiled code. With reliable versioning we can better track when issues were discovered or introduced and at what point they were fixed, it provides a consistent model for applying labels in source control, allows us to monitor aging of bug reports, but I digress. I'm not here to discuss the virtues of version numbering, I'm here to share a tool we've been using that has made managing version numbers, particularly in large projects, much easier. We've been using a wonderful Visual Studio extension, Automatic Versions by Precision Infinity. The tool allows us to control the rules for how version numbers are assigned, automate some parts of the version number while maintaining manual control of the incrementing of other parts of the version number. It helps is maintain consistency of versions across multiple projects with almost no effort. This has been a HUGE time savor for us.
