Using the project version information in Lazarus?

[jdarling]

Ok, anyone know how to get the Major, Minor, Build, etc information from the final application in Lazarus? I know this can be done with Windows API calls, but I wanted to see if there is a cross platform way of making use of this information yet. Since its in the project configuration dialog I thought it might be part of the ApplicationInformation component, but no avail there.

AFAIK, there is no such cross-platform implementation of a function to retrive the version info, yet.

The current way would be simply having a variable or constant on your program that holds a hard-coded value, or maybe a value read from a file.
