Bonjour Hal Vaughan

I have recently filed an issue on this problem

If I understand correctly, this is double to

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51494


IMHO it is a defect that it is now impossible to know the exact version number, since there are new functionalities, corrections of bugs, and new bugs at each minor version.
Please have a look at the above mentioned issue for details regarding not being able to get an (exact) version number.

Issue 51494 is another aspect of the same problem. I think you are trying to give too much information. It is possible to get the identity of an official release with information like this:

Product name = "OpenOffice.org"
Product version = "2.0.2"

The places to store these information already exist in
/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu
The problem is that the version is filled as 2.0 for any 2.0.x version whereas it is already filled, for example, with 1.1.4 for a 1.1.4 version.

Maybe it could be possible to add the Build number, but already with this information it is possible: - with a simple program reading the Setup.xcu, to find out which PC's in a network must be updated, - dynamically (in a macro), to know if a given Basic or API feature is usable on the running OpenOffice - provide a version identity as a command-line switch, as requested in issue 51494.

StarOffice may have specific problems with version identity, I can't say.
