What are you seeing?

GitVersion seems to be ignoring the most recent tag on main and performing the calculation from an old tag.

The command below shows the version being returned is v2.0.8, but based on the log I'd expect to see v2.1.1

What is expected?

v2.1.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. start a project with GitVersion v5.12
2. tag a commit with v2.0 --> result is v2.0.0
3. perform 7 additional commits --> results v2.0.1 - v2.0.7
4. wait a year
5. perform a new commit with tag v2.1 --> result is v2.1.0
6. upgrade GitVersion to v6.0.2
7. perform a new commit --> result is v2.0.8

First of all, the release of GitVersion version 6 contains major changes and might be not backwards compatible. Comparing a behavior with the preview version is not optimal. Have you thought about it that e.g. 2.1 is not a valid semantic version and will be ignored because of that?

In the configuration.md you will find the following:

semantic-version-format

Specifies the semantic version format that is used when parsing the string. Can be Strict - using the regex or Loose the old way of parsing. The default if not specified is Strict Example of invalid Strict, but valid Loose

1.2-alpha4
01.02.03-rc03
1.2.3.4

Happy Branching!

Was not trying to compare GitVersion 5 vs. 6, but just trying to get the versioning on my builds working as expected and staying up-to-date with the tools. I did consider the the tag not being a proper semantic version, but ruled that out because it seemed to be picking up a previous tag (v2.0) that was also not a proper semantic version.

Ultimately your suggestion in updating the tag to v2.1.0 solved my problem. Thank you for the assistance.
