[XBoard-devel] Version numbering [winboard]

[Eric Mullins]

I added a version resource to the binary.  Because of the way windows 
numbers versions, we can't include a letter in the actual version.  This 
information is available if you secondary click on the exe and choose 
the Version tab.

We can put a letter in the fields in the "Other version information" 
items which we have full control over.  And of course the installer exe 
can be named anything and display any version names.  But we are limited 
to precisely 4 fields separated by '.' for the actual file version.  
Bring up the version tab of any windows exe, and you'll notice they all 
follow the same convention.

I chatted with Arun about this a few weeks ago.  But probably everyone 
should to be aware of this.
