The API version isn't semver, so it'll be weird… maybe it would have helped if we had date-versioned APIs instead (but we don't, and we don't currently support older versions of the API anyway)
q
saying 
targeting server version: 1
would be fine w/o saying it's semver
it's really the 
v
that bothers me 🙂
yes, date versions might make sense, but, I'm not asking for boil the oceans solutions 🙂
f
What bothers me more is that the 
rdctl
version is not the same as the Rancher Desktop version. Since they are always released together, they should have the same version.
q
yeah, that too, but i think i already complained about that 🙂
f
And I don't really care about semver for applications; it is only useful for libraries and APIs
q
when I'm running 
rdctl version
, I really want to get 
1.9.0
🙂
👍 1
But, while i'm waiting for the oceans to boil, i'll ask to not see 
v
😉
f
Just squint for now 😛
🤣 1
q
🙈
f
Or that 😂
p
Think of it as "that bit in the URL", and not a version number 🙂
q
what url?
p
<http://127.0.0.1:6107/v1/settings>
, etc. (The thing that 
rdctl
talks to internally)
f
rdctl api settings
is the same as 
rdctl api /v1/settings
See also
Copy code
$ rdctl api / | jq -r .[]
GET /
GET /v0
GET /v1
GET /v1/about
[...]
q
that's such an implementation detail that I as a user claim I don't care about it 🙂
f
Not sure why the method and the endpoint a smashed together in a single string
In that case you could make the argument that by default you don't want to see the API version at all, and just the app version
q
by default? almost certainly 🙂
and even kubectl is slowly moving in that direction
Copy code
% kubectl version

Note that it doesn't tell me about the api version 🙂
f
It tells you the server versions, which is pretty similar to an API version, except the rule for compatibility are more complex
p
Yeah, I think what we really want is just the RD app version, and if client version != server version show a warning about it.
