Step 4: Filling in package details


In the Package Editor, click on the Details tab. You should fill in as many details as you can on this page.

Package Name

: The Package Name will be displayed in the package install dialog and wherever the package is referred to.

Model Version

: Update the version (intial version can default to 1.0). A version number for the model and package is important - it helps your users know that they are using the most recent update of your package. The version format you should use is 1.0.

When making a major change to your lexical model package, increment
the first part and set the second part to `0`, e.g. from `1.0` to
`2.0`.

When making a bug fix or a minor update, increment the second part,
e.g. from `1.0` to `1.1`.

Version numbers should be in the form `major.minor[.subversion]`.
Subversion is optional but is helpful for small bug fix releases.
Each of the sections of the version should be an integer. Keyman
does integer comparisons on the version numbers, so, for example,
version `2.01` is regarded as older than version `2.2`. Alphabetic
or date formats should be avoided as the installer for the model
cannot determine which version is older reliably.
