Update bower about js-data HOT 5 CLOSED

The 1.0.0-beta.1 release is available from both Bower and Npm. Bower handles things differently, so you'll just have to specify "js-data": "1.0.0-beta.1" in your bower.json.

bower install js-data yields 0.4.2

npm install js-data yields 1.0.0-beta.1

Go figure...

from js-data.

I think it pulls 0.4.2 because bower has current version set as 0.4.2 (see info output below). Maybe you should add the version field to your package bower.json and set the version there, similar how you have it in package.json?

$ bower info js-data

yields this (see version: '0.4.2' line):

{
  name: 'js-data',
  description: 'Data store.',
  version: '0.4.2',

Also, this could be because bower doesn't see 1.0.0-beta.1 as latest stable due to -beta* prefix and gives 0.4.2 as latest stable. I am re-reading bower docs now.

OK, if I understood correctly, bower considers 1.0.0-beta.1 a pre-release version and if no version is specified at command line, it will download the latest release version that is currently 0.4.2. To install the latest beta at command line, one needs to run this:

$ bower i js-data#1.0.0-beta.1

from js-data.

Bower completely ignores the "version" field if it exists in bower.json and only considers git tags to be available versions.
