Description

We need to come up with a versioning scheme, specifically for nightlies, where we can't manually bump the version.
The problem is that the current version always is 3.3.0.1 and the installed SDK always has 3.3.0.0, causing nightlies update to only be available once I guess and also downloading all modules, even if they remain unchanged.

Maybe some git extract magic? We could get the commit difference since the last tag or something, but using that to hand out different versions for every module might not work/break.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by locating where the nightly version 3.3.0.1 and installed SDK version 3.3.0.0 are generated, then trace how module versions control update downloads. Done means a versioning scheme distinguishes successive nightlies and prevents unchanged modules from being downloaded.
