[Question] AboutModal contains incorrect version of Cryostat

[maxcao13]

Current Behavior:

AboutModal contains a field cryostatVersion of 2.0.0-snapshot even though a development build of Cryostat should be of version 2.3.0-snapshot. I'm unaware of what it says for newer production images of Cryostat.

Expected Behavior:

The HealthGetHandler to return a correct, updated cryostatVersion field.

Is this something that should be fixed?

Looks like this command invocation isn't returning the expected result. This gets output into a file at build time, which is packaged into the container image and what the health handler reads from for that response.

I think downstream product builds have a correct version but it would be nice for upstream images and dev images to have something a little more concise (ie referring to a more recent tag).

I think this happens because the main branch of the cryostat repository is never tagged, and the production builds of cryostat are put into separate branches e.g. cryostat-v2.2 and those branch commits are tagged.

I assume if we tag the main branches commits at the certain relevant release breakpoints, then it would return a 'correct' response.
