Hi there,

if installing or exploiting bsf it becomes important to be sure to know with which version of BSF one deals. E.g. if installing a new version of BSF, how would one be able to identifiy the exact version of the presently installed package?

One way to solve this would be to introduce a static field named e.g. "version" which would carry the exact version information. One possibility here would be to use a string in the form "abb.yyyymmdd", where "a" is the major version number, "bb" the minor version number, and "yyyymmdd" represents the date in sorted order (four digit year, two digit month, two digit day). This makes it rather easy to parse the version information from any (scripting) programming language, as usually every language is able to deal with a string value.

What do you think?

Regards,

---rony
