Hi,

Long term ColdFusion/frameworks (Fusebox/CFWheels/ColdBox) user but first time with FW/1 so be gentle :-)

I've inherited a FW/1 project which I'm trying to reverse engineer to see where the rabbit runs.

My first Question is, how do I determine which version of FW/1 has been implemented?

Sure, I could look at the content of framework.cfc and compare it to the repo or maybe look at the copyright date and guess the version from that. 

Is there anywhere else I could look that would provide a definitive version number? 

Am I missing something?

If not maybe it could be added to the initial copyright comment block for reference?

A couple of ways. Do a quick search through the fw1.cfc (default is at /org/corfield/framework.cfc, as I recall) and find "VERSION = ".  You can also output #variables.fw.version#, I think it is. Double check the documentation, though.

Thank you chaps. Easy when you know how! :-)

Be prepared for more silly questions! :-)

Make sure to RTFM on GitHub, it's actually quite thorough. Don't let that dissuade you from asking silly questions though! :)

I did but obviously missed it. I was just expecting a simple statement at the head of the file to indicate version. That's the way my mind works :-)

How retro of you :)

That would mean maintaining a comment and a line of code - they can
easily get out of sync. Bad idea, IMO.

Hey, I'm that retro/old I even remember maintaining code version numbers in Fusedocs by hand! ;-)

Now was that a bad idea :-)
