Diagnostic output

jrnl: v4.1
Python: 3.13.2 (main, Feb 9 2025, 03:51:43) [GCC 13.2.0]
OS: Linux 6.12.16_1

What are you trying to do?

Running jrnl on two different systems which have different versions of jrnl installed (v4.1 and v4.2).

I am sharing my configuration as dotfiles committed in a git repo between the two machines.
Whenever I use jrnl on a machine with a different version the ~/.config/jrnl/jrnl.yaml value jumps between:

version: v4.2

and

version: v4.1

This is a constant back-and-forth and requires me to exclude the file from any version control as soon as jrnl is run from multiple machines with diverging versions.

What have you tried?

I tried to change the value to

version: v4

in the hopes that it would be satisfied with the major version but it still changes the string.
Is there any way to not have jrnl update this value with its minor version whenever it is run?

Other Information

In the scale of things this is a rather minor issue. If you would rather not devote resources to it I understand - I can ultimately just ignore it in my version-control.
But I was hoping there might be an easy fix that I am overlooking.

Thank you for the nice software!
