Gradle jgitver configuration to automatically increase minor version

[rivancic]

I want that on the development branch version automatically gets increased by minor version as mostly commits do include new functionality. With default configuration patch version gets increased.

current latest tag is 1.4.0.

jgitver {
  strategy = 'MAVEN'
  nonQualifierBranches = "master,develop" // Dont add branch names to version when on specified branches.
}

resulting in 1.4.1

If I try to configure a pattern so that the NEXT_MINOR_VERSION would be take I get exception in version calculation
For example this works

jgitver {
  strategy = fr.brouillard.oss.jgitver.Strategies.PATTERN
  versionPattern("\${meta.CURRENT_VERSION_MAJOR}.\${meta.CURRENT_VERSION_MINOR}.\${meta.CURRENT_VERSION_PATCH}")
  nonQualifierBranches = "master,develop" // Dont add branch names to version when on specified branches.
}

resulting in 1.4.0

while with changing the minor version to ${meta.NEXT_MINOR_VERSION}

jgitver {
  strategy = fr.brouillard.oss.jgitver.Strategies.PATTERN
  versionPattern("\${meta.CURRENT_VERSION_MAJOR}.\${meta.NEXT_MINOR_VERSION}.\${meta.CURRENT_VERSION_PATCH}")
  nonQualifierBranches = "master,develop" // Dont add branch names to version when on specified branches.
}

I get following exception

Using latest stable version (quite old) 0.9.1, tried with 0.10.0-rc03 as well with the same result.
