/**

 * @ingroup RTEMSAPIClassic
 *
 * @brief The Version API provides functions to return the version or parts of
 * the version of RTEMS you are using.
 *
 * A branch in the version control system will always fall back to a
 * NOT-RELEASED version number with a minor number of 0. Only the release
 * archives have a VERSION file with a final release number. That means for
 * example that the 5 development branch will still show a version 5.0.0 even
 * after the 5.1 release.
 *
 * The reason for that are the following:
 *
 * 1. All pre-release tests are performed with a specific git hash. A committed
 * VERSION file would need to be changed and committed afterwards for releasing
 * with the required release version causing the released version to have a
 * different git hash and the test results couldn't be linked to the released
 * version.
 *
 * 2. Users deploying RTEMS would need to commit a local change to a committed
 * VERSION file and that would clash with the project changes. Deployment can
 * use the project repos directly.
 *
 * 3. The VERSION file management and generation is the responsibility of the
 * release manager and the release process.
