The PFC Version Number

Get the Version Number

There are multiple ways to find the version number.

1. Look at the program title bar. The number is reported there.
2. Select the menu sequence Help —> About —> About PFC. The dialog that is shown lists the version number on the first line.
3. In the console, type program list version. The first line of Console pane output indicates the version number.

The Version Number, Explained

The version number of PFC follows a simple numbering system that identifies the level of updates in the program. There are three numerical identifiers in the version number, that is,

Version I.JK

where:

I is an integer starting with 1 that identifies a major release of the code;

J is an integer that is incremented whenever a modification is made that requires a major change to the code structure for a supplemental upgrade release of PFC; and

K is an integer that is incremented when minor modifications are officially released as an update to the current version.

Subversion Numbers

The exact version of the program that you are using is determined by the subversion number, which is a digit that appears after a dot (.) after the third digit (K) described above. Lower subversion numbers represent earlier versions than higher subversion numbers. Subversion numbers are used to identify minor changes to PFC that have been made since the official version was released. The program can automatically detect whether there is a new subversion available (see the topic Update Alert dialog for more information).

Caution

PFC with a subversion number greater than that of the officially released version should be used with caution, because not all features have been fully tested.
