This is a string describing a date and/or date/time in a simple subset of the ISO-8601 format, namely either "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ" (with 'T' the date/time separator and the 'Z' indicating UTC). The main purpose of this field is to keep track of plugin and element versions on an absolute timeline, so it's possible to determine which one is newer when comparing two date time numbers. This will allow us to express 'replaces'-type relationships betweeen plugins and element factories in future, even across different modules and plugin merges or splits (source module version numbers aren't particularly useful here, since they can only meaningfully be compared within the same module). It also allows applications and libraries to reliably check that a plugin is recent enough without making assumptions about modules or module versions. We use a string here to keep things simple and clear, esp. on the build system side of things. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623040 |
