KMyMoney AppImage versions

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

  Thanks Thomas for the information,  however I noticed that the  
filename no longer will contain the build revision?

So if I retrieve the appimage of today, it will be named  
"kmymoney-5.1-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage" just as it will be tomorrow,  
the day after and anytime in the future.... So how to differentiate  
between builds if we have an issue that appears in a specific build ?   
Maybe the devs never used the build version to troubleshoot and debug?

I agree with the "5.1" .... Is it relevant?  Perhaps the build should  
be named something like "kmymoney_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.Appimage"??? (HHMMSS  
being the time the build was compiled)...

Just my take on it.

Thanks!
