AHK v2 source code: identify version number

[jeeswg]

(I'm sorting/renaming folders...)
Does the AHK v2 source code indicate the AHK v2 alpha version number somewhere?
In AHK v1, you can see it in ahkversion.h.

Otherwise, are there any tips?
E.g. I could search for the presence/absence of built-in functions.

You can check the AutoHotkey.chm file. It should show the version number

Yes, but the source code zips don't contain a .chm file.

its not in the source
looks like @Lexikos uploads a special version that has the number and commit punched in

The release script sets the version number when building, and tags new versions in git.

Even if the latest release is v2.0-a106, the zip download might be v2.0-a106 plus some commits. If you clone the repository with git, you get the current head commit, every previous commit, and optionally the tags that show which commit corresponds to which release. git describe prints the last tag, but if there have been commits since that, it appends the number of commits and current commit hash.

GitHub Releases shows a zip download for each tag. In that case, you're getting the exact code for that version based on the tag. You know what version it is, because you downloaded it for that version (and it's probably in the filename).

If you just want the latest version number, download 2.0/version.txt.

The differences between the file name patterns, only became clear to me, once I had collected all of the zips I'd previously downloaded, into one folder. Cheers.
