<version>

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Increments a four-part version number stored in a text file. The resulting version number is written back to the file and exposed using NAnt properties.

The version number format in the text file is Major.Minor.Build.Revision, e.g. 1.0.5.25.

Major Set in file.
Minor Set in file.
Build Can be incremented by setting the buildtype parameter.
Revision Can be incremented by setting the revisiontype parameter.

The following NAnt properties are created:

prefix.version The complete version number, i.e. Major.Minor.Build.Revision
prefix.major The major component of the version number.
prefix.minor The minor component of the version number.
prefix.build The build component of the version number.
prefix.revision The revision component of the version number.
