Ok this might sound like a bit simplistic.. however you have no idea how frustrating it is to figure out if you have the 'new' version of cosmos or the 'yesterday' version.

Sure you can always patch.. but with bug-a-plenty if I have something that isn't broken.. I' m fixing it just to get a few new widgets.

Also I've modified my version of Cosmos a bit to layout nicer and to play nicer with some other mods (Namely CTMod)

With all that in mind...

Is there any chance you'd be willing to put a small INGAME version listing in cosmos? I see that it says Version 1 already.. but with all the updates that never changes..

Even something like 1.00.01 would allow you to modify it for each 'fix' and people who know who has what version. I constantly ask people "Does your cosmos have xxx feature working" but without knowing what version they are running it's kind of difficult to pin down the problem to Cosmos vs other addons that might be conflicting.

Of course with the version number that would mean each new 'alpha' would also have to show that new version number.

Ummm...

You could try /cversion... or ask people to write the following snippet of code:
/script Print("Cosmos revision number : "..COSMOSMASTER_VERSION);
That should help.

Doh.. I never even knew there were /slash commands!!

Found em late last night by accident as I was trying to get help via /help (Twas very nice to list all of cosmos there.. and even VERSION :P)

The only thing I had seen previously was the version number listed in the UI interface.. any reason that doesn't match the /cversion, or only wanted the 'main build' number to show on interface side?

Either way.. least I can now have people tell me the accurate version.

Thanks

Well, the Cosmos version number is not supposed to change very often.

The Cosmos revision number is basically the build number of Cosmos, which increases whenever parts of Cosmos change.
