Version 6.x cannot parse four digit version tags, but v5.12 can

[ITaluone]

Hi

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but after upgrading to GitVersion >=6 my version tags (which consists of four parts) cannot be parsed anymore (meaning are completely ignored).

I have an app which on the time of starting the app had three version parts x.y.z, but I changed that to x.y.z.build.

Setup

My git history has this type of tags

• 1.0.0
• 1.1.0
• 1.2.0.1234
• 1.3.0.2345

Now, if I run dotnet gitversion with version 5.12.0 I correctly get as next version 1.4.0 i.e. ignoring the fourth part.
But if I run this after upgrading to v6 (and update the GitVersion.yml accordingly) I get 1.2.0 as next version.

I'm pretty sure I missed a configuration option, but cannot find it.

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

https://gitversion.net/docs/reference/configuration#semantic-version-format you need to set the
semantic-version-format: Loose in GitVersion.yml

Ah... thank you very much 🎉

I was sure that I missed something ;)

But: I don't read about this in the docs 🤔
I would consider this as breaking change, too.

A PR that can fix this missing piece is very welcome, so that the next person doesn't spend the time as you did
