New versioning Scheme

[julienmoumne]

Before June 2014, piwik-php-tracker was part of Piwik's code base and therefore followed Piwik's versioning scheme. When it became a separate project, version number went from v2.x.x to v1.0.0.

piwik-dotnet-tracker was a separate project from the beginning but followed the versioning scheme of Piwik and its tracker. This made bookkeeping convenient when porting the code base from PHP to .NET.

Current version of piwik-dotnet-tracker 2.16.0 does not correspond to either versions of Piwik and piwik-php-tracker.

piwik-dotnet-tracker should have its own version scheme since:

• following Piwik's versioning scheme does not make sense anymore
• following piwik-php-tracker's scheme would make it hard to merge pull requests for features unique to piwik-dotnet-tracker or submitted in a different order

piwik-dotnet-tracker would benefit from semantic versioning and autogenerated changelogs with, for example, skywinder/github-changelog-generator.

Main issues to address: 

• determining the next version
• dealing with the fact piwik-dotnet-tracker is a publicly published project on Nuget
• dealing with the existing git tags

Determining the next version:

I'd suggest to follow http://semver.org/ which also helps on deciding to determine the next version

Current version of piwik-dotnet-tracker 2.16.0 does not correspond to either versions of Piwik and piwik-php-tracker.

I would mention in the README that the version is not related to the Piwik version

In general: The version scheme for this should be independent from any other tracker and Piwik

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you also imply it is acceptable to start from v2.16.0 instead of finding a way to somehow reset at v1.0.0?

[tsteur]

I would probably start from 2.16.0 as it would be otherwise confusing when having already released a 2.X version for this tracker.

Sounds good to use 2.16.0

The new C# SDK was advertised in the 2.16.2 blog post: https://piwik.org/changelog/piwik-2-16-2/ and on social network eg. https://twitter.com/piwik/status/762498653327990787
