Versioning of *.csproj about versionize

[saintedlama]

Is the use case that you want to release prerelease version such as rc1? The props file solution looks quite like a special use case to me.

Yes, this is the use case.

Well, I would not consider it as a special use case. The props file is the way for defining shared values in the new project-system. IMHO quite common among the folks who uses .NET Core.

I've a pre release functionality on my roadmap that should work somehow like this:

• If the --pre-release switch was set the version increment would be calculated and a for example -rc1 is appended
• In case the last version is a pre release the pre release version is incremented

Would that work for you?

The props files are standard but I want to avoid pulling to much msbuild functionality in the project.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunatly, this isn't a possibility for us. Hence, I forked the project and will adjust it for our needs. Anyway, thank you for your work, I appreciate it!

Still interested in a PR in case the solution fits for more use cases. Ping me if you'd like to merge it back here
