There are two areas where changes were required for this fix. I have added a unit test for |
|
I would say display both versions in two colums (From, To) If you are concerned about the length I think one can shorten the version for display, e.g. only Major.Minor.Micro the qualifier is almost useless in all cases. I think a good algorithm would be to find the first differing segment and reduce it to that e.g. lets say the Major version is different then just show Major version, if minor is different show major+minor and so on... that's the actual relevant information and the full version details can be shown when hovering in a tooltip or elsewhere. |

One useful bit of information in the qualifier is the date which is typically the only information that's meaningful to the user who is generally not familiar with the versioning scheme of the unit. I agree though that it looks a bit like "too much information" and that two columns would allow one to squeeze down the column to truncation the qualifier. (I wonder, are the columns packed or is a column layout used.) |

Thanks for the feedbacks, I will come up with a two columns approach. |
