    From the XFVersionInfo you can get a couple of other related version-information:

Interesting. Where did you pick that up, and do you have other hidden gems that could be useful?

And btw, good coder humor with " ' do boring old stuff" 😁

I had to fly 20 hours from Sydney to Orlando for Wave to find out 😅

I actually didn't realise it was a 'hidden gem'. I was going to link to the documentation and when I went to find it there was nothing I could find! Its definitely frustrating finding out there is something you should/could have been using but just needed to get lucky and have someone who knows share the knowledge.

    That explains - I did not go to Wave 😄

    On another thread, I actually did stumble over your gem in one of the PDF's on the v8 upgrade documents. Cheers
