Released on February 9, 2026, repver v0.4.0 is a focused maintenance release. While it doesn’t introduce new features, it delivers critical improvements to how the tool identifies itself and updates the underlying infrastructure to ensure long-term stability.

What’s new

The highlight of this release is the fix for version reporting. Previously, users who installed repver using go install would see the version reported as dev, regardless of the actual version installed. v0.4.0 resolves this by leveraging Go’s build info, ensuring that you always know exactly which version of the tool you are running.

Under the hood, we’ve also performed some essential housekeeping:

  • Language Update: Upgraded to Go 1.25.7.
  • CI/CD Refresh: Updated several GitHub Action dependencies, including actions/checkout, actions/cache, and setup-uv, to their latest versions.
  • Docs Update: The documentation site has been updated with the latest version of the just-the-docs theme.

Why it matters

For many developers, knowing the exact version of a CLI tool is essential for debugging and ensuring compatibility. By fixing the go install versioning issue, we’ve removed a point of confusion and made the tool more transparent.

Additionally, keeping the toolchain and CI environment current reduces technical debt and ensures that repver continues to benefit from the latest performance and security improvements provided by the Go ecosystem and GitHub Actions.

Getting the latest version

Since there are no breaking changes, upgrading is seamless. You can get v0.4.0 in one of two ways:
