Asap version numbers ¶

An Asap version number (e.g. 3.13.0) contains three parts.

The major version number (3 in this example) will only change in case of major changes to the interface, making your scripts incompatible.
The second version number (13 in this example) is even in production versions of Asap, and odd in development versions.
The last version number marks corrections of minor bugs and small improvents in the case of a production version, but may mark more significant changes in development versions.

Checking the version number ¶

… of the source code ¶

In the source directory, you can check the version number with make version:

[demokrit] ~/development/asap>make version
ASAP version 3.13.0

… of the compiled Asap ¶

The PrintVersion command prints the version number, including information about the compiler options used when compiling:

>>> import asap3
>>> asap3.print_version()
ASAP version 3.13.0 parallel, compiled Mar 30 2023 15:41:33 on demokrit using 'env LAMMPICXX='g++' OMPI_MPICXX='g++' mpicxx -O3 -pipe -g -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-function -Wno-write-strings  -DWITH_OPENKIM'

If an argument is given, information about which files where loaded is printed:

>>> asap3.print_version(1)
ASAP version 3.13.0 parallel, compiled Mar 30 2023 15:41:33 on demokrit using 'env LAMMPICXX='g++' OMPI_MPICXX='g++' mpicxx -O3 -pipe -g -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-unused-function -Wno-write-strings  -DWITH_OPENKIM'

… in a script ¶

The same string printed by print_version() is returned by get_version(). The version number itself is available as __version__.
