310084 - nsIXULAppInfo.platformVersion should use the new version format (eg. 1.8b2)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, defect)

Description

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/toolkit/xre/nsIXULAppInfo.idl#83 :
/**
 * The version of the XULRunner platform, in an extension-manager compatible
 * format (1.7+, not 1.8b2).
 */
readonly attribute ACString platformVersion;

Now that extension manager supports version strings like 1.8b2 this should
change, probably.

This reverts the build-config parts of bug 299930 which forked the "1.9a1" and
"1.8+" version strings. It also clarifies the comment on nsIXULAppInfo and
freezes the interface.

I'd definitely like to freeze this for 1.8.
