However, this would require that YY and ZZ always be stated (EG. "1.07.00" and still must only consist of numbers. It looks more like a date to me than a version number and may confuse people.
If you want to change the Rock Patch format to change then tell me now.
I can have different version formats for different components but they must all be integers in the yrcrp.ini file.
Due to the future version number format on the yrcrp.ini RP=107 ( 1.07 to the user) can't handle pd's hotfixes on newer versions (1.07a, 1.07b, 1.07c, 1.07d...) or he sould change the format.. really isn't a problem but is classic to see the letter after the version
Initially I said you XYYZZ (intestead of XYY of your format) to allow these hotfixes (01=a, 02=b, 03=c, 04=d, ... until z ). Of course, a programmer must solve special cases when is showing information to the user: 10700 should be showed as 1.07 but if exist a 1.07c internally to the program will be done as 10703 (I don't know why "may confuse people" if this [VERSIONS] section in yrcrp.ini is only internal data to a program, not to be edited by people)
Well, is an insignificant detail but if a program can be improved, better :innocent:
