language packs 4.2.2 have inside of the files 4.0.0

[jojo12]

this should be changed, because it irritates! At least for the new packages for 4.2.3!

[Heklaterriol]

In the master branch all english language files have version 4.2.2. IN the German language pack there are 4.0.0 and others. So it is wrong on transifex. How can we change that?

[mckillo]

I think that the version number (mayor:minor:patch) shouldn't be include in the files. If JEM files have to indicate a version, it will be mayor version, for example JEM v4. Each version is tagged in git and jem.xml (and orhers xml files of JEM package and extenxion). So, we don't have to changed all files. It is an idea.

Others extensions (JCE, Yootheme, Akkeba, ..) don't write the version number in all files, they have a simple header:

and Joomla too:

I agree: it is better to have no version inside the language files!

[mckillo]

In all files, PHP too (except the XML file with version field).

[Heklaterriol]

Ok. So it would also be good to have a uniform header.

[Heklaterriol]

We can remove all the version number in the files for version 4.2.3. I create a branch for that

[ernst67]

I presume we will keep the version number in the installation file?

[Heklaterriol]

Yes, in the xml files of the extension and each plugin/module
