I.e. stop having a version number for KDE Applications entirely, instead of having a YY.MM we just make a "KDE updates apps today" announcement on some day, and the announcement includes a full list with individual versions. If we don't want it to be used, why have the number?</p></div>

<p>"KDE updates apps today" + full list of app versions sounds good to me.</p>
<p>The list can be auto-generated by a script from some standardized CMake variables like PACKAGE_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}. For those apps that prefer auto-incremented versions, the script can <strong>optionally</strong> bump these version numbers (like it is already being done for Kate/Dolphin/etc).</p>
<p>This would result in announcements like this:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">KDE Ships %d Updated Applications in 2019 Q2 Release Season
What's News:
... some highlights/app picks here ...
Full list of applications released today:
* Spectacle 19.04
* Gwenview 19.04
* Okular 1.6.7</pre></div>
<p>In my opinion the above isn't confusing since we never mention "19.04" outside of the list of individual versions.</p>
<p>We could drop the "2019 Q2" part, but it might be useful to avoid tens of identically titled announcements.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TASK DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T10755">https://phabricator.kde.org/T10755</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, aspotashev<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>aspotashev, huftis, cullmann, hein, ltoscano, kde-utils-devel, KDE Games, KDE PIM, sitter, jriddell, Spectacle, Gwenview, Konsole, Kate, Dolphin, aacid, cfeck, KDE Applications, ngraham<br /></div>
