Inconsistent or consistent version output?

[ufdup89]

What's your question?
After installing premake-5.0.0-beta7 and running premake5 --version, i get

premake5 (Premake Build Script Generator) 5.0.0-beta6-23-g3b2ef094.

Is this intended or should the output contain the string 5.0.0-beta7?

This same behavior seems to have caused the package manager homebrew to fail to update premake to the latest release. Have a look at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/226632/files to find that the automatically opened PR failed to merge because of line 42 of premake.rb. That line uses premake5 --version to verify that the installation.

Anything else we should know?
I am on mac OS 15.7.3 (24G419) but this should not matter.

This was the first release with a new mechanism for handling automatic versioning for Premake, so I definitely missed something building the release. We're going to be releasing beta8 here soon (likely within the next week), so we should have everything ironed out by then.
