Re: [Denemo-devel] Changing the way we use version numbers in Denemo

[Richard Shann]

OK, I think I have my big chunk of work ready to unleash as version
2.0.17.
The whole mechanism for generating source code for the menu system has
now gone and all the deprecated code for creating the user interface
from a text file. Now Default.commands is the unique source of the
ordering of menu items that are commands.
The actual changes to be seen are quite minor. The Open menu has Open
Recent as the first item now, unless there are no recent files. Right
clicking on objects gives the complete relevant menu rather than a
special selection of menu items. And I seem to have perturbed the order
of some menu items - let me know if you see any that are badly ordered.
There are no longer any separators in the menus :) it would require an
extra field in the <row> entry of commands to indicate a separator
should follow I think (and code to honor it).
Key-snooping now avoids the deprecated interface.

I'll push this to git tomorrow, unless I hear to the contrary. New names
(2.0.x or ...) for the resultant builds would be good, as discussed, but
not essential.
