hello! I have been pushing a few different versions of my app on my devices, and I’m in the situation where I have a lot of releases, all named 0.0.0, 0.0.0+rev1, 0.0.0+rev2, 0.0.0+rev3, ecc.  
I am wondering if there is the possibility to give names (like v0.0.1, v.1.2.3, ecc.) when building or pushing the release!

Thanks in advance

Hello,  
You should be able to set the version of your release in your `balena.yml` contract file, as you can see here: [Deploy with balena button - Balena Documentation](https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/deploy/deploy-with-balena-button/#balenayml-configuration-file) . When you push a release with with a version defined in the `balena.yml` contract file, the release should have that version.
