So 1ef0c1a3e0 didn't help at all, great. Either I'm terrible enough at C++ to get the same thing wrong twice, or this is a mingw bug, in which case I'm not willing to waste time trying to figure it out.
The idea is to have the following version information included:
- 1-component save version
- 2-component under the hood but the minor component shouldn't ever change again
- see currentVersionMajor in GameSave.cpp
- 1-component website API version
- again, currently 2-component because that's what the website code expects
- see apiVersion in requestmanager/Common.cpp
- 2-component display version, entirely cosmetic
- exposed as meson options display_version_major and display_version_minor
- see APP_VERSION in Config.template.h
- 1-component business logic version aka build number
- exposed as meson option build_num
- see APP_VERSION in Config.template.h
- variant id aka mod id, tightly coupled with the build number
- exposed as meson option mod_id
- see MOD_ID in Config.template.h
- display and business logic versions repeated for the upstream
- exposed as meson options upstream_version_major, upstream_version_minor, and upstream_build_num
- we'll have to update these alongside display_version_major, display_version_minor, and build_num, but mod owners can just merge our changes
- see UPSTREAM_VERSION in Config.template.h
- update channel, makes sense in the context of the variant (and yes, this would later enable mod snapshots)
- currently not exposed as a meson option but derived from meson options snapshot and mod_id
- see IDENT_RELTYPE in Config.template.h
- vcs tag aka git commit hash
- set by build.sh in ghactions workflows
- see VCS_TAG in VcsTag.tempalte.h
Rather importantly, the save and website API versions are now allowed to change independently of the display version.
These changes also allowed me to remove the ugly sed hacks in build.sh used to provision some manifest files; they are now provisioned by meson.
Also add version info for windows and android.
This makes the *A Win32 API variants work correctly with UTF-8 parameters, which is nice because standard C/C++ facilities use those (because microsoft's libc is a steaming pile of microsoft code). OF COURSE this only works on win10 1903 and above. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/globalizing/use-utf8-code-page
Also write PNGs with libpng, and BMPs with SDL, and have the renderer only generate a large PNG thumbnail, and disable HTTP/2 multiplexing for now so we don't get banned when loading avatars.
simon pls reply to the stupid emails already.
Also Factor out app constants that mods might change into Meson options and clean up format::URLEncode in the process, convert app and document icon data in arrays to actual images, actualize AppStream data for possible future packaging, add alternative command line format for opening filesystem saves and ptsave URLs, fix a memory leak in Platform::GetCwd, and add format::URLDecode.
Also restructure meson.build and the ghactions workflow a bit, and enable -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections.
Note that starcatcher uploads have not been tested and most likely don't work.
