When someone copies the file named "OpenLayers.js" and a dir called "img/" into some project, it currently has no version number visible. When someone later encounters a bug or tries to access a feature built in a later release of OpenLayers, they have to perform detective work to figure out what version they are using... unless we do something like this. Does it really have to be a sed script? Things like the copyright date surely aren't done by a sed script :) John _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
