<module name="LCLVersion">
<short>Contains the version number constants of the LCL.</short>
<descr>
<p>
<file>lclversion.pas</file> contains the version number constants of the LCL.
They can be used at run-time to determine the LCL version, so LCL application
writers and component writers can offer different functionality or workarounds
for bugs and take the LCL version into account while choosing their algorithms
at run-time.
</p>
<p>
Likewise, these version constants can be used at compile time in conditional
expressions, such as <i>{$IF lcl_major&gt;0}</i>. These kinds of
expressions are supported in <i>{$mode delphi}</i> and <i>{$mode objfpc}</i>.

<element name="lcl_fullversion">
<short>LCL full version.</short>
<descr>
<p>
The lcl_fullversion constant contains all version numbers, formatted with 2
digits and concatenated (leading zeros are omitted).
</p>
<p>
  For example, if the LCL version is 2.0.12.6, lcl_fullversion will be 2001206.

Given a complete version string like 2.2.0.1, the lcl_patch constant
contains the last number (1). If there is no fourth number, for example when the
version string is 2.2.0, then lcl_patch is 0.
