Version information

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
3.1 doesn't correspond exactly to a revision because it's branched from the main build, and fixes are sometimes applied to the 'release' that are workarounds and not really things we want permanently in the development branch. Conversely, for a period development still goes on while the release branch remains the same to be shaken down for bugs.

Including a version number wouldn't really mean "check out this SVN revision and you'll have 3.1" or even "if you see this version number you have 3.1" because it would be possible to build from the main SVN Rockbox sources and get the same revision as the 3.1 revision.

In the case of 3.0, there were very significant differences between the branch for the release and the development branch.
