Since the function returns a string, and get_revision returns an int, it seems like any situation in which you'd like to check compatibility or anything else would be much safer to implement with get_revision. After all, there's no real guarantee that the current version format will be stuck to. (I guess nothing is written in stone, but at least it's fairly unlikely that a check versus an int would completely bork things.) I don't want to complain too much, as I've been wanting get_revision for so very long. But yeah... can't think of anything either. --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 06:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Revision as of 06:02, 30 July 2010
