You should print the same information that we print for
the '--version' option (including a Copyright note).

Since commit 67a1de0d195a6185 the version string automatically
includes git commit hash information if necessary, so you
don't need to do that. Similarly, don't report build date
(unless you want to consistently make every place we report
version information include a build date).

[Qemu-devel] Improving QEMU's About dialog

2016-07-26 Thread Programmingkid 
Under Mac OS X, QEMU's about dialog is not very helpful. It only displays an 
icon and the name of the binary. I think this should be improved. Let me know 
what you think of this idea:




   Version: 
Git commit version: 
Build date: 

Example:

 


qemu-system-ppc   Version: 2.6.90
Git commit version: 2d2e632ad00d11867c6c5625605b1fbc022dd62f
Build date: 7-26-2016


Want anything added?
