OpenWrt added the AUTORELEASE macro with 21.02 release (openwrt/openwrt@9ae3c6f) which counts the commits since last manual "bump" or "update".
In current workflows changing the PKG_RELEASE is often forgotten, which causes the same package-version after the code has changed. This causes some confusion to
opkg
and manual installation of the package.special cases:
OWM: current version had a version number, but this had no real meaning
meshwizard: as the state of the package is unknown the AUTORELEASE number is
just appended to the current versionnumber
