Kendo Versions still inconsistent (kendo drawing, kendo-licensing)

[bbb]

I'm updating our angular app from angular v14 to v15 (and then 16 and 17...) and saw that I have to update also Kendo.

I've luckily learned that finally all kendo-ui packages now share the same version number for a release (which is a very good move) just to find out that this is true for the most packages but not all packages.

So @progress/kendo-drawing and @progress/kendo-licensing still uses the old individual versioning and all @progress/kendo-angular-XXX packages of v11.6.0 references @progress/kendo-drawing v^1.17.2 and @progress/kendo-licensing v^1.0.2

I understand that @progress/kendo-drawing and @progress/kendo-licensing are independent from angular but why is there still an inconsistent individual versioning outside the @progress/kendo-angular-XXX namespace and not also a consistent versioning in @progress/kendo-XXX?

Hi,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

The @progress/kendo-drawing and @progress/kendo-licensing are common packages, used across other Kendo suites (like KendoReact). The packages have their own versioning history and aren't related to one another. A project might not need the Drawing package, but changes in that package may cause bumping the licensing which is required in every app that uses Kendo components. That is why we keep them separate.
