EXE versioning not reporting as correct

Assessment

Research direction

Description

When looking at the version metadata on the klayout_app.exe in the klayout-0.30.7-win64 zip package, the versioning shows as 0.28.12, when it should match the versioning of the release of 0.30.7.

This is making it difficult to track installations and updates across multiple computers.
