The code sample on this page should be redone, as that functionality is already built into KoLmafia. --StDoodle (#1059825) 16:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah i know, i couldn't think of anything else, i can't think of any other reason for this function--Icon315 21:51, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

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. --StDoodle (#1059825) 06:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
