As an example, here is how to access the version number in other languages.
Some easier to use than others. Looks like the easiest ones are just static
const strings.
Flex[1]: mx.core.FlexVersion.CURRENT_VERSION
Dotnet[2]: System.Environment.Version
Java[3]:System.getProperty("java.version");
React[4]: React.version
Angular[5]: import { VERSION } from '@angular/core'; VERSION.full
Groovy[6]: GroovySystem.getVersion();
Ruby[7]: RUBY_VERSION
Python[8]: sys.version
Node.Js[9]: process.version
PHP[10]: phpversion()
So I would like the SDK to provide something similar. It looks like we still
have a mechanism setup in the build.xml we are just missing the files it's
looking for (Version.as files). Let's add the following file and see if it
with a little tweak in pathing would turn it into a self-managing version file
when building the SDK for release. This looks like a smallest simplest
mechanism to implement this. Especially since it's regex pattern matching the
old version format, it doesn't matter how we layout the file.
File: Version.as
package org.apache.royale.core
{
public class Version
{
public static const CURRENT_VERSION:String = "0.9.6.0";
}
}
SDK Usage for developer:
Import org.apache.core.Version;
trace(Version.CURRENT_VERSION);

Hi Mark,
sorry but all you state can be solved with the solution I exposed to you.
There's no need to add an identifier to an SDK since you can add it
yourself from the SDK you downloaded or get by the multiple ways available.
In any of the cases the numbers are not baked into code, but are available
in different parts and you can use defines to bake it into your code and
use it in the same way you use to do in Flex. At least I don't see from
your response that your points will not be covered in that way
