It does contain the version.   



tla-1.1pre9 is an abbreviation for the long string

that --version prints.



I don't understand why you wouldn't use the long

version string directly, anyway.  What exactly

do you mean by "parsable"?

Summary:  make --version easily parsable.

Original Submission:  I need a good parsable string for the GUI application I 
want to create based on tla, in order to do version checking for various 
reasons.  This is impossible with the current format. It does not contain the 
version. (which would be what I expect, really :)

I suggest to let the first line which currently reads:
tla 
address@hidden/dists--release-tla--1.1--patch-9(configs/emf.net/devo.tla.release)
 from regexps.com

to be replaced, or if you still want the above line prepend it with:
tla 1.1pre9
or
tla 1.2
