You may have been surprised by the version number of httpforge. It does not follow the usual scheme: 1.0 beta, 1.0, 1.1, etc. Instead, versions are numbered with the release date: YY-mm-dd. For example, the current version is 11.02.01. Removing the notion of “beta”, “realease candidate” et al. allows me to focus on features and improvement instead of version naming.
So how could you know which version to use ? Use the latest, or your favorite one... Simply avoid the ones that are known to have bugs.
If you wish to know the version of the installed httpforge, use the -v option on any script:
> httpforge -v
11.02.01
Download the distribution from the Python Package Index, extract it and go to the created directory (named httpforge-YY-mm-dd). Then run, as root, the setup script:
> python setup.py install
easy_install httpforge
I’m trying to make this documentation as accurate as possible. Still, errors may appear. If you spot one, or if you think something is missing or could be improved, please tell me at a.dotreppe@aspyct.org.
