Hi Nick, Thanks for your quick response. As the current version number only applies to deployment there is no way to actually view the app's internal version number in the console. For example, my app at i-emote.appspot.com is still in beta. It's internal version number is b1.2.0. There is no way to see that in the console. The console only shows its deployment version number which is 1.
What I am requesting is to allow for the app's internal version number to be included in the console. It would have no relevance to the deployment number and it would be meta data that would identify its internal version number to the developer. It would be uploaded along with the app itself. It could be a parameter in the app's configuration file and the Eclipse plugin could allow for its data entry. I believe that being able to include and see the internal version number in the console would be a great benefit for all developers, especially if more than 1 is working on the same application. I hope I have been able to provide clarification to my original request.
