<module name="LCLVersion">
<short>Contains the version number constants of the LCL.</short>
<descr><p>The LCLVersion unit contains the version number constants of the LCL.
They can be used at runtime to determine the LCL version, so LCL application 
writers and component writers can offer different functionality or workarounds 
for bugs and take the LCL version into account while choosing their algorithms
at run-time.</p>
<p>Likewise, these version constants can be used at compile time in an conditional
expressions, such as <i>{$IFDEF lcl_major&gt;0}</i>. Currently these kinds of
epressions are only support in <i>{$mode delphi}</i>. Recently fpc 2.3.1 added
support for these kind of expressions in <i>{$mode objfpc}</i>.</p>
