Hi, Charles, Thanks for the patch.
This version info seems to not really be used/useful at all. If it's set too low, then you end up with lots of "rev-ing up your design" messages while it purports to update these files to the latest version. This basically consists of just changing the XmpVersion number! It probably served some purpose at some point, but for CASPER usage it doesn't do anything but cause problems. For mlib_devel, it seems like it should be set to an "old" value so that it will work for the greatest number of people. This ends up being slightly annoying for those who run newer tools and watch the build process because they see all the "rev-ing up" messages. An alternative would be to have the CASPER part of the toolflow update this value based on the Xilinx version being used, but that would take a little development work.
