Hi Hiram, Thanks for this response. Knowledge of this option is very helpful for my own personal use, and I understand why you wouldn't perhaps want to add an entire extra line for everyone. Unfortunately, without adding something by default it doesn't address the problems when people don't understand how critical this information is.
I would still suggest that a short code for the assembly version be added to the left. I think there should be enough space there.
