REBOL Version Numbering Method
REBOL provides a consistent version number method to identify itself.
General Format
Version numbers have the general format:
version.revision.update.platform.variation
For example, the version number:
2.7.6.3.1
indicates that it is:
- version 2
- revision 7
- update 6
- on MS Windows
- for NT/XP/+ on x86 CPU
Access to Version
In REBOL, you can get the version number from the system object:
print system/version
2.7.6.3.1
In addition, you can get the product name with:
print system/product
core
And also the build date:
print system/build
10-July-2009/10:30-7:00
Newer versions also include words for platform identification:
probe system/platform
