Is there a way to get the version number of the minetest you're using? I don't think there is directly, based on discussions I've seen. So far, I know the following for sure:
1) There is no "minetest --version" option.
2) The version is listed in "debug.txt" for minetest, as "VER=0.2.20110618_0_dev".
3) The version can be called when running a minetest server using "/status" (Get server status: version, player list, message of the day).
So, is there a way to retrieve the minetest version, particularly for uses in external scripts and programs? In this case, a mod manager for minetest. If there isn't, I really think there needs to be.
For that matter, how would you go about getting a mod's version as well? Standardizing a variable to do so, required for every mod to have somewhere? If not, then what would it take?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Yeah, this would be god, but protocol version usually tells me my client is too old.
