Keeping track of Object file versions

william chan

Whenever I improve an object, I change the file name to reflect the version number, like myobject_v1_3_2.spin.

This also allows me to go back to the previous object version if the new version does not work well.

Unfortunately, all files that use myobject also have to be changed to use the correct object version.
This is a hassle.

Is there a better way to keep track of object versions?

Say an object is called MPE_OBJA
* I keep an MPE_OBJA.SPIN and a folder MPE_OBJA in the working directory
*The folder MPE_OBJA contains many spin files called MPE_OBJA_nnn.SPIN (I am faitfully following Andr
