Hi Francois,

Bummer. I recently deleted that signature file from out server, thinking that it was not used any more. However, I don’t think that the md5 hashes in that file were updated properly any more. Also, the planned functionality with that file (i.e. the user doing "ft_version update” in MATLAB) was never made to full completion.

I know that ft_version works fine in case you have a local copy that is checked out through SVN (as Jorn demonstrated). But I don’t think that the versioning is currently working for a version that you download from the ftp server. 

I will look at the code of ft_version and see whether I can add a small “version” file to the content of the zip file and have ft_version check that. Regarding version naming, the release numbers provides a unique identifier, the date not so much (as there can be multiple commits on a day). But svn info also gives the date, so I could include that in the output. 

Let’s follow this up on http://bugzilla.fieldtriptoolbox.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1449

best
Robert
