man midori shows -v and --version to do the same thing
NAME
       midori - fast and lightweight web browser

SYNOPSIS
       midori [OPTION...] [URL]

DESCRIPTION
       midori is a lightweight web browser.

OPTIONS
   Application Options:
       -v, --version
              Display program version

[Mehrzad (timonti-deactivatedaccount)]

from the code - main.c uses -V (capital V) and not -v (small v) which is documented in the man page.
       { "version", 'V', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &version,
       N_("Display program version"), NULL },

Changing to "v" should fix this issue.

[Mehrzad (timonti-deactivatedaccount)]

changing GOptionEntry entries variable to have version short-form as -v and not -V

[gue5t gue5t (gue5t)]

I don't think we have a man page. Where are you finding one?

As far as I'm aware, -V is the correct short flag for --version.
