Within Julia:

*julia> *
*VERSION**v"0.4.0-dev+2340"*

*julia> *
*VERSION.minor**4*

 Also, currently, in dev these are nice for embedding but have not been

DLLEXPORT extern int jl_ver_major(void);
DLLEXPORT extern int jl_ver_minor(void);
DLLEXPORT extern int jl_ver_patch(void);
DLLEXPORT extern int jl_ver_is_release(void);
DLLEXPORT extern const char* jl_ver_string(void);
