Description

There is an incorrect version number for Square.Picasso on the public NuGet server: 2.71828.

Recent version: 2.8.0.16
Problematic version: 2.71828

It seems there is a typo in the version 2.71828—it should be 2.7.1828, not 2.71828. This mistake causes confusion since 2.71828 appears greater than 2.8 when compared numerically. This can easily mislead developers into updating to the wrong version. Also, the new developers always install it by mistake and encounter many legacy issues, killing time to find out.

Resolution:
Please unlist 2.71828 manually from the NuGet server to prevent further confusion.

Steps to Reproduce

Did you find any workaround?

Please unlist 2.71828 from the NuGet server to prevent further confusion.

While we wish this was indeed a mistake on our part, it is not. It is how Square did their Java library versioning and it messes up Java/Maven as well:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.squareup.picasso/picasso

It appears they were trying to be "cute" and use Euler's number as a version.

Can we unlist it from the nuget server? So it will be available for older versions and anyone who needs it, but it also won't appear on the search and upgrades.

@madnik7 Thanks for the feedback.

OMG this slipped through... Each update I have to revert it. Maybe we'll need to freeze it.

We'll have to, but it is a bit complicated.
