Version tracking

[SHughes_Fusion]

So far, in the project I'm working on I've been using the internal compiler _ProjectVersionStr as a version number for my software.

I've recently started tracking code changes and sharing updates with a colleague using Mercurial / TortoiseHg.

Where does Swordfish store the version number? Is it in the .bas file or elsewhere? I know it can't be accessed via MPLab so I would suspect it is stored internally somewhere - and I would guess also that this wouldn't work well with a source control system?

While I am the only person implementing changes, my colleague will need to recompile my source on his machine and we also need to keep a record of the version number for all copies of the source pushed to the repository.

Is there any way, other than using the built-in version number or remembering to update the number manually on each compile that we can do this with Swordfish?

It's contained in the swordfish *.sfp file, alongside your bas file.
