Tippecanoe latest build shows v1.36.0 version string — even from latest March 2024 source

Hello,

I cloned the Tippecanoe repository (March 1, 2024 commit 2daf84a6c10d22fcd4151fa9fcff9bea5407293a) and successfully built it from source.

However, I noticed that running:

css
Copy
Edit
tippecanoe --version
Still shows:

nginx

tippecanoe v1.36.0
I checked version.hpp and saw that the version string is hardcoded to 1.36.0. There hasn’t been a bump even though there are newer commits.

Can you clarify:

Is this expected behavior, and does it require manual updating of version.hpp?

Or is there an automatic way to reflect the latest version / tag in the build?

I just want to confirm for accuracy before I proceed with production use.

If so, might be good if you made it show the correct version somehow.

Thanks
Nitin

Start by reading version.hpp and running tippecanoe --version against the March 2024 source described in the issue. Check how the version string is used during the build; done means the reported version behavior is consistent with the repository's tags or documented as expected.
