Re: [Arsperl-users] ars_APIVersion - wrong returns?

[Thilo S. <thi...@ap...>]

Up to version 1.90 ars_APIVersion was returning the value of 
AR_EXPORT_VERSION (from arstruct.h) instead of AR_CURRENT_API_VERSION. 
This has been changed with version 1.91. You didn't mention what ARSperl 
version you are using, but it probably can't be 1.91 (or else I'd be 
very surprised).
