This module is loaded by the telemetry framework, which we're now loading via
the cluster framework, i.e. also in bare mode. The resulting additional
thread (for creating reporter.log) trips up a number of btest baselines.
version.zeek doesn't use any of the string helper functions.
Add localversion to the VersionDescription record and populate it
during version string parsing.
This change also modifies the version string syntax, removing the
deprecated dash (-) between beta|dev|rc and the commmit count; those
must now be separated by a period.
The test version strings were updated accordingly along with the
baseline.
Turns out that base/misc/version.bro did not parse Bro versions
correctly in case the version is just 2.5-12 or similar. This commit
fixes this oversight and adds a few more small testcases.
One more name change: version_num -> version_number
BIT-1707 #merged
* origin/topic/johanna/version:
Slight naming changes for Bro version information.
Add convenient way to access version information to Bro.
With the introduction of the package manager, it will get more common
that applications are able to get information about the currently
running version of Bro. With this commit, scripts can easily compare
which version of Bro they are running.
Commonly, this probably will either look like this (both lines check if
the current Bro version is greater or equal to 2.5)
@if ( Version::num >= 20500 )
or
@if ( Version::greater_equal("2.5") )
Version::info contains detailed information about the running version of
Bro, including beta flags, etc.
