Returns the current engine version information in a Dictionary.
"major" - Holds the major version number as an int
"minor" - Holds the minor version number as an int
"patch" - Holds the patch version number as an int
"hex" - Holds the full version number encoded as an hexadecimal int with one byte (2 places) per number (see example below)
"status" - Holds the status (e.g. "beta", "rc1", "rc2", ... "stable") as a String
"build" - Holds the build name (e.g. "custom-build") as a String
"string" - major + minor + patch + status + build in a single String
The "hex" value is encoded as follows, from left to right: one byte for the major, one byte for the minor, one byte for the patch version. For example, "3.1.12" would be [code]0x03010C[/code]. Note that it's still an int internally, and printing it will give you its decimal representation, which is not particularly meaningful. Use hexadecimal literals for easy version comparisons from code:
[code]major[/code] - Holds the major version number as an int
[code]minor[/code] - Holds the minor version number as an int
[code]patch[/code] - Holds the patch version number as an int
[code]hex[/code] - Holds the full version number encoded as an hexadecimal int with one byte (2 places) per number (see example below)
[code]status[/code] - Holds the status (e.g. "beta", "rc1", "rc2", ... "stable") as a String
[code]build[/code] - Holds the build name (e.g. "custom_build") as a String
[code]hash[/code] - Holds the full Git commit hash as a String
[code]year[/code] - Holds the year the version was released in as an int
[code]string[/code] - [code]major[/code] + [code]minor[/code] + [code]patch[/code] + [code]status[/code] + [code]build[/code] in a single String
The [code]hex[/code] value is encoded as follows, from left to right: one byte for the major, one byte for the minor, one byte for the patch version.
