A thought about plugin version numbers

[Cannon]

I’m pondering the idea of changing how the version information of a plugin is retrieved by FLHook. Rather than reading the plugin name and version number from the plugin ini what do people think about the following idea:

A new export that allows FLHook to query the plugin to retrieve the version number + plugin name from the dll directly.

I’m also wondering about compatibility as different builds of FLHook plugin might not/are not compatible with plugins built for an earlier build. It would be possible to have a plugin return the build of FLHook it is compatible with using a similar mechanism.

I think its a good idea
It also somewhat protects from people editing the .ini too much. Maybe we could also put the rest into such an interface function, like exported (hooked) functions and their priority, and so on.
