I installed the 0.5.0 RPM or Debian packages from GitHub and I see:
ubuntu@ip-10-0-1-211:~$ vector

When I run it. I see version="0.4.0-dev" and git_version="v0.5.0" -> Is this a bug or should I expect the versions to vary?
Thanks, @jamtur01, and sorry about that. I opened https://github.com/timberio/vector/issues/1010 to address this.
As an aside - the asset names in the GH release also changed between 0.4.0 and 0.5.0.
0.4.0: https://github.com/timberio/vector/releases/download/v0.4.0/vector-0.4.0-amd64.deb
0.5.0: https://github.com/timberio/vector/releases/download/v0.5.0/vector-amd64.deb
Not particularly important but annoying for folks building Docker images or configuration management modules, etc.
Thanks.
Apologies for that! We've been working out kinks in the release process. Minus this issue, I believe everything should be resolved. The asset names won't be changing again. Thanks for letting us know.
