Version number

[david68]

I see 2 ways to implement a version number in firmware:

- Use of the IDlocs (see my other wish about that)
- Use of free locations in EEPROM (for example: the last ones)

What would be very useful is either (or both possibilities to choose from):
- An automatic versionning based on the current date (retrieved from the PC at compile time)
- An automatic versionning based on a classic version number (Major.Minor ex: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.9, 2.10...), the minor number being automatically incremented each time to program is "burnt" in the PIC. The major number could be set in project properties, or by a new reserved word or constant, directly in the source file.

Thanks.
