Windows Build - Include Version Information
Description
The current windows builds do not include any information about what version they are in the file or file name. Additionally, the download links do not allow the user to discover what version they are downloading.
Proposal
- Update builds to include the version number in the binary, so that when the user right-clicks on it, selects properties, and then the details tab, they will see a version number that corresponds with the tag it was built from.
-
Modify download file names - Include the version number that corresponds with the tag in the binary e.g. change
gitlab-ci-multi-runner-windows-amd64.exe
togitlab-ci-multi-runner-windows-amd64_v1.11.0.exe
- Use the releases feature - GitLab now has the ability to turn tags into releases. These releases can then have links to the specific binaries that are the versions built for that tag. Thus if I need an older runner for some backwards compatibility reason, I can go to the corresponding tag and download the windows build from there.
