Getting Client Version

Is there any way to get the client version with the Lua API? By version I mean the client version you see on the login screen which is currently "eso.live.2.3.11.1309783". It would be nice to at least be able to get the "2.3.11" part if not the whole thing.

I've checked all the places I could think of and nothing seems to return anything relevant:
  1. GetAPIVersion() obviously just returns the API version like "100014".
  2. All in-game globals (no string matching the client version).
  3. All Lua API strings (no match found).
  4. The global "_VERSION" has always had the value of "2013.1.0 r13331". Unsure what this actually is supposed to represent.

    Its useful for use (UESP.net) so when we collect game data we know which game client/version it comes from. Mainly a convenience since we can technically associate it by date.

    I personally do this for datamining, but if your miner retain info before sending it, every data need to be checked with some kind of versioning yes..

    Yah, I was kinda hoping I missed some clever thing that someone found out. Not a huge thing by any means.
