Comment 2 for bug 349739

I remember that we had this communication protocol version discussion some time ago.

Although there will be no need for different communication protocols I in 0.2 (or later versions) I still feel that a simple visible release number can be of help when providing support.

Just think of changes in the interface between e.g. 0.2 and 0.26. Hopefully both version will be able to communicate and 'work' together but the interface might be changed. With two people trying to help each other but with slightly different interfaces we are back to the problem of describing these subtle differences over the phone...

My suggestion is to include a version variable which will be updated when a new version is forged/cloned for release.

The developers will most probably work with the latest bzr version and will know where they are up to.
