I currently have to distribute a number of version numbers of my plugin since changes to the OD code between versions will sometimes break later versions of the plugin as things are changed, moved around, deleted etc. from OD code. This has been working fine.
In the past, it had been sufficient to only be concerned about the major and minor version numbers of OD when selecting the matching plugin .dll to run with the corresponding version of OD. More recently though, I have had several instances where significant enough changes were made between builds but within the same major and minor version that it broke the existing plugin, which is a real show stopper. And, there is currently no way for the plugin framework to differentiate between builds at startup, and thus no way for me to have OD select the correct version of my plugin when users update OD.
Could OD augment the program link code so I can specify build as well?
So the Plug-in .dll name entered in Program Links goes from
Anesthesia{VersionMajMin].dll
to
Anesthesia{VersionMajMinBuild].dll
So, I could distribute and have OD distinguish between
Anesthesia17.2.74.dll
Anesthesia18.1.34.dll
Anesthesia18.1.36.dll
Anesthesia18.2.1.dll
etc.

I'll work and see if I can get this implemented.
