d2 --version does not work

d2 --version print ????.

You must've built from source. The version is not a static variable in source.

It's read from Github releases at build time:

d2/ci/release/_install.sh

Line 468 in 5e001dd

fetch_release_info() {

And then injected:
https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/blob/master/ci/release/_build.sh#L16

[gavin-ts]

To reproduce:

1. go install oss.terrastruct.com/d2/cmd/d2@latest
2. d2 -v outputs ????

To clarify, this is expected behaviour. I'll change it to instead be HEAD so it's more clear. See #288

[nhooyr]

Discussed with @gavin-ts and we decided we can fix this by having the release script update the version in lib/version.

[nhooyr]

For now we'll manually update. terrastruct/ci#16 tracks automating this.

Thanks for reporting @FFengIll and for @gavin-ts for bring attention.

tested with @HEAD
