Description

Removing version.hpp added to GIL in dfc86f6 (Boost 1.68)

Motivation:

  • GIL is part of Boost collection, so Boost version is sufficient
  • GIL version makes little sense unless GIL becomes independent
  • Two distinct version numbers, Boost's and GIL's, are confusing.
  • Role of GIL's version number is not documented thus not entirely clear

References

The removal was discussed and agreed upon in this thread
https://lists.boost.org/boost-gil/2019/11/0346.php

Tasklist

  • Ensure all CI builds pass

Thanks ! (I take it we are not referring to this version anywhere in our docs ?)

Yes, I think I checked all places, and final grep checks return nothing

$ find . -type f | grep -i BOOST_GIL_VERSION
$ find . -type f | grep -i BOOST_GIL_LIB_VERSION
