rampart version
# rampart v0.7.0 (a1b2c3d4) built 2026-03-01T10:30:00Z
# Go go1.24.0

# Then report issue with version info

#!/bin/bash
# Log version in CI runs
echo "CI run starting"
rampart version

​
Compatibility checks

#!/bin/bash
VERSION=$(rampart version | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/^v//')
MINIMUM="0.7.0"

if [ "$(printf '%s\n' "$MINIMUM" "$VERSION" | sort -V | head -1)" != "$MINIMUM" ]; then
  echo "Rampart $VERSION is too old. Minimum: $MINIMUM"
  exit 1
fi

​
Version scheme

Rampart follows Semantic Versioning: 
v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>
Examples:
  • v0.7.0 — Minor release (new features)
  • v0.7.1 — Patch release (bug fixes)
  • v1.0.0 — Major release (breaking changes)

​
Breaking changes

Major version bumps (e.g., v1.0.0 → v2.0.0) indicate breaking changes:
  • Policy format changes
  • CLI flag changes
  • API changes

​
Feature releases

Minor version bumps (e.g., v0.7.0 → v0.8.0) add new features:
  • New commands
  • New policy features
  • New agent integrations

​
Bug fixes

Patch version bumps (e.g., v0.7.0 → v0.7.1) fix bugs:
  • Security patches
  • Bug fixes
  • Performance improvements

​
Development builds

Building from source produces dev versions: 
git clone https://github.com/peg/rampart.git
cd rampart
go build -o rampart ./cmd/rampart
./rampart version

rampart dev (uncommitted) built 2026-03-03T15:04:05Z
Go go1.24.0
Development builds:
  • Use dev instead of version number
  • Show uncommitted if there are uncommitted changes
  • Include local build timestamp

​
Troubleshooting

​
Command not found

rampart version
# bash: rampart: command not found
Rampart is not installed or not in PATH. Install: 
# Homebrew
brew install rampart

# Or download from releases

​
Old version

rampart version
# rampart v0.5.0 (old version)

​
Version mismatch

If you have multiple Rampart binaries: 
which -a rampart
# /usr/local/bin/rampart
# /opt/homebrew/bin/rampart

/usr/local/bin/rampart version
# rampart v0.6.0

/opt/homebrew/bin/rampart version
# rampart v0.7.0
Remove old version: 
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/rampart
