Hi all, the number 4.940 in version.txt has only just become meaningless - see the recent discussion about "Inconsistent version change in SWT 4.18" and the associated closed bug report
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=567789 In that discussion Tom mentioned the Manifest file as an alternative and I'm investigating that. Thanks Aleksandar, for moving that forward. So I'm also curious about the Implementation-Version in the Manifest file. Does that have a well-defined meaning? Is it documented somewhere? Is it reliable? If not, wouldn't it be a good idea to have both "4.18" and "2020-12" added to the Manifest file and/or as constants at some well-defined location like the Library class or the version.txt file? My suggestion to use a map to deduct the user-visible version from whatever inconsistent version number is embedded in the code was actually a joke. If that's the only way, so be it, but from a software engineering standpoint I still vote for something predictable :-).
