embossversion |
It is expected that this may have a use in scripts which automatically write descriptions of the state of the EMBOSS package that is set up locally.
It will also be a useful way for people to ascertain what version is being run if they are giving user-support to people in another site.

embossversion writes just the version number followed by a newline character to end the line.
The output is written to the screen by default, but can be written to a named file by using the '-outfile' option.
The version number is in three parts, separated by '.'s.
The first number is the major version number - this only changes when substantial changes have been made to the look-and-feel of EMBOSS.
The second number is the minor version number - this is incremented whenever a version is released.
The third number is usually '0' but if a minor bug fix has been released that does not warrant a minor version number, this will be incremented.
