Build from Source shows version 5.0.1 rather than 5.0.3

[spdavern]

Expected Behavior

Running cadet-cli --version should give 5.0.3

Actual Behavior

▶ cadet-cli --version
This is cadet-cli version 5.0.1 (master branch)
Built from commit 5333e26085715ecd8ecc9106c1ab0692e28c185e
Build variant Release
CADET homepage: <https://cadet.github.io>
Fork CADET on GitHub: <https://github.com/cadet/CADET-Core>
Report bugs to the issue tracker on GitHub or <[email protected]>
See the accompanying LICENSE.txt, AUTHORS.md files

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Installing CADET-Core using conda install -c conda-forge cadet gives the error:

▶ conda install -c conda-forge cadet
Channels:
 - conda-forge
 - defaults
Platform: osx-arm64
Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - cadet

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge
  - defaults

So, I successfully used the instructions in BUILD-OSX.md to build from source. The resulting CADET seems to be fully functional but shows the wrong version despite all the changes in commit 7dc64b0 present in commit 5333e26 used for build.

1. Follow instructions in BUILD-OSX.md
2. Run cadet-cli --version

Specifications

• Version: 5.0.3
• Platform: osx-arm64 - Apple Macbook Pro with the Apple M3 Max chip
• Subsystem:

▶ cmake --version
cmake version 3.31.3
▶ gcc --version
Apple clang version 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.6)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.6.0
Thread model: posix
▶ brew info hdf5
==> hdf5: stable 1.14.5 (bottled)
▶ brew info tbb
==> tbb: stable 2022.0.0 (bottled)
▶ brew info eigen
==> eigen: stable 3.4.0 (bottled), HEAD

I believe I'm running v5.0.3 since it shows being built from the right commit despite showing v5.0.1.

Thank you for reporting this.

I reproduced the issue but then started to think that this might not be a Bug: Recently, we have changed our release strategy to Gitlab Flow, which is briefly described in the developer documentation. To put it briefly, you've built the master branch of CADET, which is not the source of truth for version 5.0.3.
The source of truth for version 5.0.3 is the support branch v5.0.X.

However, building this branch still results in the same issue, which is definitely a Bug. There were some shenanigans with tagging one of our last releases, which might have caused this, but Ill have to return to this issue some other time.
@schmoelder @hannahlanzrath for your notice.
