Automatically increment Features version numbers using Drush

If you're serious about Drupal development, you probably use Drush and Features. If you do use Drush and Features, you will likely have caught yourself wishing to the Drupal Gods for the ability to automatically increment or set a feature's version number when updating it.

Well wish no more! The issue was actually created a while ago but just recently got implemented and comitted. It is now available in the Features 7.x-1.0-rc3 release!

There are 2 new options available for the features-update (fu) and features-export (fe) commands: version-set and version-increment.

# Update (re-export) the "foo" feature and set its version number.
drush fu foo --version-set=7.x-1.0-beta1
 
# Update the "foo" feature and automatically increment its feature number.'
# It works with alpha, beta and rc versions too!drush fu foo --version-increment
# foo's version becomes 7.x-1.0-beta2

That's it about it, hope you enjoyed!

Now go increment all your feature's version numbers, just because you can! :)
