releaseVersionFile setting appears to be ignored

[Facsimiler]

I have put my version information in a file named ./Version.sbt (note capital first letter). SBT reads this file in, and sets the version correctly.

I have defined the property releaseVersionFile as follows:

releaseVersionFile := file("Version.sbt")

However, after performing a release, I find that I have both a ./Version.sbt file (with its contents unmodified) and a ./version.sbt file (with an updated version number).

Any ideas?

I'm running on Linux Mint (19.2), using Java Zulu OpenJDK 8.

I think this is because the file is hardcoded here

@bbstilson That's not a hard-coded value, just the default value. All SBT properties must be initialized, and all of them can be assigned new values.

Is there any update on that?
Having the same behaviour that releaseVersionFile property is not respected.
