Version 5.7 in binary 5.8

[mrclmr]

Hello,

thank you for the great CLI entr! It is a great tool and I enjoy to use it.

First I was confused that Homebrew did not have the latest release. Found out that the version number in source code is old.

Hopefully the macOS specific Homebrew showcase helps:

$ entr
-bash: entr: command not found

$ brew install entr
✔︎ JSON API packages.arm64_tahoe.jws.json                                                                                                                                         Downloaded   15.2MB/ 15.2MB
==> Fetching downloads for: entr
✔︎ Bottle entr (5.8)
...

$ entr -h
release: 5.7
usage: entr [-acdnprsxz] utility [argument [/_] ...] < filenames
...

Looks like that https://github.com/eradman/entr/blob/master/Makefile.bsd#L4 could be the culprit.

Best regards

Sure enough, when I cut the last release I did not bump the version in commit 046d8d7 !

Quite a few distributions picked up 5.8, there is way to change the tag without breaking existing packages:

https://repology.org/project/entr/versions

The package maintainer for Homebrew could patch the build. I updated Makefile.bsd.

Thanks for calling this out, I'm surprised nobody else noticed.

Thanks four your quick answer! May be releasing version 5.8.1 or 5.9 is also a solution? But I don't know the implications and you have reasons suggesting to keep 5.8. I don't know if a patch with Homebrew Core would work. Sorry for not helping that much!
