    About KDE programs

    Hello.
    I've noticed that several KDE programs, like Dolphin, now show a version number identical to KDE's. I'm just wondering why that happened, why the version number was changed to match KDE's... Any ideas?

    Many applications, such as Dolphin, are part of the KDE Software Compilation, and are released as a group at the same time. Hence the same version numbers.

      Version numbers (Dolphin)

      Use the KDE SC version also as the Dolphin versions

      This has some advantages:

      (a) The version actually changes for every bug fix release, making it
      easier to find out which version a bug reporter has used.

      (b) No changes in Dolphin's source code are required to keep the version
      always up to date.

      (c) It is more transparent for users because there are not two different
      versions any more.

        I see... I've asked this because Dolphin, although part of KDE SC, was on version 2.1 and went straight to 4.10, I think.
