conanfile.version could be derived from conan_data when loading a conanfile if there's only 1 version declared?

This feature sounds really interesting!!! But I would not keep it so magical due to the explicit design in Conan 2.x. Instead, I would suggest As a real example, when I need to validate recipes in CCI, I need to read the conandata.yml to list the latest version available. |
