A question about bumping version to 1.8?

Hello.

I am Jae and a totally newbie of opensource culture including Quantlib. In fact, this is my first opensource in which i participate. So... i want to ask a foolish question again to all.

I found out that the version says 1.8 not 1.7 in Readme.txt after i cloned repo from Luigi's. i thought 'Pardon? Oh, it may be a typo and it can be my first (and very tiny) contribution to opensource!' But when i checked the upstream i saw a message and committed results from Luigi: "Bump version number to 1.8". May I ask what happened? I think i dont know the exact meaning of 'bump'. Is anyone who teach me this word and what happend in this version? Is there no version 1.7 anymore? I am really curious about it.

In addtion, i want to confess that i couldnt configure src at all right after 'git clone'. I am a ubuntu user. I couldnt find 'configure file' at all. i've just solved the problem and am compiling. i leave my results of struggling. Of course, I know that most of developers are already experts. However, for other newbies like me who want to dive into quantlib, i summarized the commands for installation. (I assume that boost is already installed.)

$ git clone https://github.com/lballabio/quantlib
$ cd quantlib/QuantLib
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --disable-shared # quantlib.org/faq.shtml ... FAQ4.1
$ make
$ sudo make install

i hope this could help others.

p.s
Peter, for the previous mail, Really Thank you very much for Carol's(and my) question. i could learn about the structure of quantlib more.

Best regards,
Jae
