<module name="LCLVersion">
<short>Contains the version number constants of the LCL.</short>
<descr><p>The LCLVersion unit contains the version number constants of the LCL.
They can be used at runtime to determine the LCL version, so LCL application 
writers and component writers can offer different functionality or workarounds 
for bugs and take the LCL version into account while choosing their algorithms
at run-time.</p><p>Likewise, these version constants can be used at compile time in conditional
expressions, such as <i>{$IF lcl_major&gt;0}</i>. These kinds of
expressions are supported in <i>{$mode delphi}</i> and <i>{$mode objfpc}</i>.</p>

<element name="lcl_fullversion">
<short>LCL full version</short>
