Sphinx does not change version number

Question

I changed the version number of my project in conf.py:

version = '0.0.2'

But when I generate a new html (make html), the version is always: 0.0.1.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Just to add to the discussion. You could simplify your workflow and if your version usually is the same as the release, you could put it this way:

# The short X.Y version.
version = '0.0.1'
# The full version, including alpha/beta/rc tags.
release = version

Then you will only need to change the first value.
