Frontier Version

Compatibility: 4.2.3 - 5.0.2b - 5.1.2+ - 6.0 - MacOS - Windows

FrontierVersion() constructs the long string representation of the Frontier version you're running, and presents it in a dialog.

The actual version string is assembled by another script, fullFrontierVersion. Note that although it works fine with Frontier 6, it has not been updated to show the revision date/serial number.

on FrontierVersion()
   dialog.alert( user.command.fullFrontierVersion() )


on fullFrontierVersion()
   << Assemble Frontier version info.
   local
      strOutput = "Frontier: "
   strOutput = strOutput + file.getVersion(Frontier.getProgramPath())
   if ( frontier.version() beginsWith "5.0.2" )
      strOutput = strOutput + " ru-" + workspace.newParts.notes.serialNum + "\r"
   if ( frontier.version() beginsWith "5.1" )
      strOutput = strOutput + " updated " + user.rootUpdates.servers.Frontier.lastupdate + cr
   return ( strOutput )
bundle // Display the information we collected.
   dialog.alert( fullFrontierVersion() )
