In case of backwards compatibility (how < 0.88 and >= 0.88 users will see new version), there could be several options:
−
* use two separate ''activity.info'' fields for version, existed ''activity_version'' and new one with new full version.<br><0.88 user will see ''activity_version'', and >=0.88 version from new field<br>could lead to various misunderstanding e.g. why''activity_version'' has one value and ''new_field'' has another one
