Version (Application)

Description

Returns the version number of the application (eg, "6.5.170.QFE1" or "XSI_Pioneer_Beta1.234-4.0"). As of v7.0, the format of the version information is:

{ReleaseNumber}.{BuildNumber}.{UpdateNumber}

...where the chunks represent this information:

- {ReleaseNumber}: can contain alphanumeric characters, as well as decimal points ("."). For released products, this contains "Major.Minor" designation (eg., "6.5"). For pre-release versions, this may be the "CodeNameMileStone" (eg., "XSI_Pioneer_Beta1").

- {BuildNumber}: can also contain alphanumeric characters, but cannot contain decimal points (eg., "234" or "234-4"). - {UpdateNumber}: can also contain alphanumeric characters, but cannot contain decimal points (eg., "1" or "QFE1").

Prior to v7.0, the format of the version information is: "Major.Minor.YYYY.MMDD" (eg., "6.02.2007.0605").
