Hello, Ralf, Waldek, *, Thanks Ralf for supporting this proposal.
I'm used to run different FriCAS versions at the same time and since I plan to support this in a FriCAS personal plugin for VSCode (not published yet), I need version informations to populate my 'FriCASExecutable' computational "structure". For now 'fricas --version' is inconsistent to me. But this is usual apparently even with Common Lisp implementations. For example, 'gcl --version' gives: $gcl --version GCL 2.6.14 ... whereas in GCL >(lisp-implementation-type) "GNU Common Lisp (GCL)" Clozure CL is more consistent from my point of view: └─$ /home/greg/.roswell/impls/x86-64/linux/ccl-bin/1.12.2/lx86cl64 --version Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.12.2 (v1.12.2) LinuxX8664 and in it: CCL is free software. It is distributed under the terms of the Apache Licence, Version 2.0. ? (lisp-implementation-type) "Clozure Common Lisp" ? After, that is just a matter of opinion I guess. By the way, if there is some interest I filed a pull request, https://github.com/fricas/fricas/pull/134 The original code is in https://github.com/gvanuxem/fricas/tree/fricas-version (the fricas-version branch) for an eventual 'diff'. I will keep one since I will delete this branch in the near future.
