OctoPack, a NuGet package, originally defaulted to version 1.0.0, but this could be customized via the MSBuild command line by specifying a different version number. Paul Stovell, the founder of Octopus, acknowledged the need for a more dynamic approach to versioning, which led to the implementation of a solution using the GetAssemblyIdentity MSBuild task, thanks to a suggestion by André. As a result, OctoPack 1.0.99 can now automatically read the version number from the primary output assembly unless overridden manually, with the changes documented on GitHub.
