In the past, OOo was ignored by autodoc, and only the version number was
taken, and translated (via some configurable translation table) into a
"<product-name> <version>", for different product names.

In a not-too-recent past, it was decided to remove this translation
table. I am not sure what the current state is - does autodoc really
take the unmodified tokens after "@since" and puts them into the HTML
file? This would have been a change for the worse then ...

So, in short: Formerly those different syntaxes were not a problem, if
they are today, then ... it is worth an issue, for sure.

+1 (though for a different reason: the official name usually is "3.3",
not "3.3.0")

You made my day.

Should I forward you my archive of a 5-years-old discussion where we
already attempted this. Is was a fight against windmills ...

Though, if somebody wants to embark on this, I'm on board.

Admittedly, my main interest is using doxygen for our C++/Java-code,
something currently, in theory, also handled by autodoc.

autodoc for IDL is not as useless^Wbad as autodoc for C++, since it has
additional features (like linking to the dev guide and the like) which
might not be covered by current doxygen (/extensions).

Ciao
Frank
