dbm version check api

Hi, im writing a simple raid check addons that reports various info about all the members of a raid.

i would like to be able to query to see if a user has dbm and what version. i did a quick read of the core.lua and couldnt find any "check version" function.

whats the easiest way for me to do something like that?

There is a version check build in DBM already ;)

Open DBM Options Menu -> 'General' tab -> "Version Check" button in the right upper corner of the options window

This will print a list of DBM-users and which version they use in the default(?) chat window.

(Will take a quick look on what the command is to list it without pressing that button: "/dbm ver" is the chat command)


function DBM.OnLoad() -- (line 579 in the API.lua of v3.10 Alpha 15)

CHAT_MSG_ADDON, RAID
arg1 = "LVBM NSP"
arg2 = "VER version version_beta revision"

There are 2 different version numbers for legacy reasons. Your addon should use the version_beta and revision variables. DBM also shows these variables in version checks and in the GUI.
