Description
The version type is now part of the version string which avoids an empty space in release versions of the library. The version string now resembles PEP 440 albeit without a dot (since it's a CMake version string). Also, updated the documentation wording which claims the version to be set to
release
in final (released) versions but is actually left empty.Fixes #3471
