I'm not making a feature request but rather some future discussion ideas. We all seem to remember sub-version numbers like: 1.7.0.-44 There is some benefits in using a consistant numbering scheme. When I use the uname command, I don't care what date my dll was created. I would like for uname to use the same format as we all talk about. Would it be possible to get uname to report the full version with sub-version? No more dates... Without this feature, Im' going thru convuolutions to extract the full version and sub versions. I like to be able to quickly view this information in the Windows banner/title area when running multiple instatnces of the OS.
