'4.4.3, September 1992'

Its format:

• First digit (4) Current major release. Generally indicates major revisions and a large number of incompatible changes: version 4 is based on X-windows whereas version 3 was using SunView. Version 4 adds user-defined classes, type inferencing, completely reorganised graphics and many more. Version 5 is not (yet) foreseen.
• Second digit (4) Indicates minor releases with limited compatibility issues.
• Third digit (3) Patch number. No incompatibilities except for minor one's for which we do not expect any normal application to be sensitive.

  These fields are followed by an indication of the time of release.

  If the pce<-version is requested with the argument name, the time of the release is omitted (i.e. 4.4.3). Finally, if the version is requested as a number, the value 10000 * major + 100 + minor + patch is returned.
