With version 2.5, the "version.xml" file that is in the root of the skin's directory will be read and the information displayed on screen and saved in the log file.

This allows you to make sure that a user has the latest version of your skin and also display a short message about the skin.

The format of the version.xml file is a standard XML layout.

Example

<skin>
  <name>Enter the name of the skin</name>
  <version>Version of the skin</version>
  <date>Date the skin was released</date>
  <message>message to display on screen/in the log file</message>
</skin>

The name of the skin.

The version of the skin.

The date the skin was released.

A multi-line message to display on screen and in the log file. Just repeat the <message> line as many times as you need.

Example

  <message>Line 1</message>
  <message>Line 2</message>
  <message>Line 3</message>
