[julia-users] checking a version number?

[Andreas Lobinger]

Hello colleagues,

i remember reading something about the impossibility to create a consistent 
julia version number, but i cannot find it ... anymore
Still: 

What is the recommended way to get a julia major/minor version number (i 
need to check <> v.0.4)? Just parse Base.VERSION?

Wishing a happy day,
       Andreas
