How do I tell what version of the source code I have?

How do I tell what version of the source code I have?

And is it possible to get the version information out of the compiled binary?

Usually you can tell by what source you got it from... Otherwise, a diff tool and some copies of different versions of the code is your next best bet.

Yes, we really need to have a version somewhere. :) It's fixed in 1.4.

Only indirectly can you get that info from a binary.

Have you tried grepping the code for "Version"?

Type echo(GetVersionString()); into the console to get the current version.

Hey ben you're on all fronts!!! go to the atlas engine ! quicker please ... ;)
@johan : take a look at engine/game/version.cpp or version.cc.... line 9 or 10 It will give the answer.

I downloaded v1.3 as my SDK[labeled in Download section of my Account], why then does this return a value of 1.20 when utilizing the precompiled .exe?!? Artistic, not Coding, mind inquiring....I rechecked with a download yesterday, and still returns 1.20.

We forgot to update it. 1.4 will have an updated version number.
