Manifest Version Number

This is a long shot, but is there any way to get the manifest version number

Lua Code:

## Version: 0.9

from lua code? I never remember to change it in both places when I do updates :D

circonian means addon version, not API version. ;)

And yes, would be nice to have all meta data from manifest available in Lua. :)

That's why I don't put version in the manifest :D I'm afraid it's not only inaccessible, but silently ignored because it's not one of the known keywords.

AddOnManager could keep a table of all "^## (%w+): ?(.*)" key-value pairs, and provide a function that would return the corresponding value for any given key.

That's APIVersion. Version is ignored.

yes or ..

Lua Code:

number numAddons = GetAddonsInstalled()
string addonName = GetAddonName(number index)
boolean isLoaded, string:nilable addonVersion, string:nilable addonAPI, string:nilable addonDescription, string:nilable addonAuthor = GetAddonInfo(addonName)

so we could do

Lua Code:

for i, GetAddonsInstalled() do
      local addonName = GetAddonName(i)
      if GetAddonInfo(addonName) then
            -- Addon addonName is loaded !
      end
end

Lua Code:

if GetAddonInfo("anObviousAddonWhichDontLeakAnyGlobal") then

There is also SavedVars and Depends and and Optional depends on, but it could be a really good start
