• version is application/short_version
• build is application/version

For Windows Desktop exports:

• version is application/file_version and application/product_version

For HTML5 and UWP exports no versions specified.

How to use it for in game display

The version and build numbers can be accessed for in game use like that:

    # To get version string
    var version = ProjectSettings.get_setting("application/config/version")
    # To get build number
    var build = ProjectSettings.get_setting("application/config/build")

Why I need to reload project ?

The GodotVersionManager addon update the export-presets.cfg file.

Because of Godot keep in memory ExportsSettings and do not reload it from export-presets.cfg file you will need to reload your project.

When project is loaded Godot load in memory the export-presets.cfg .
