Hey all,

I was wondering if there was a way to check the compiler version when running code. My project uses 2.064 and other people that go to use it will get errors if they haven't upgraded yet, and I'd like to make a check before hand so that if need be I can have a "Please upgrade to the most recent compiler" message show up or something.

Thanks!

	static if (__VERSION__ < 2064L)
		static assert(0, "Please upgrade to version 2.064 or later");

Thanks very much!

That's very interesting as well. Seeing things like this makes me realize how much more I have to learn about this language.
