How to set Chrome's user script version number

google-chrome, greasemonkey, userscripts, version

Solution

Ok, this appears to be a confirmed bug now. (Issue 30760)

Seems the standard `@version` meta-data is the correct usage, but it has not yet been implemented.

Edit: The `@version` tag now works in the stable release of Chromium (and, therefore, Chrome).

Problem

Edit: The bug that caused this problem has been fixed. The `@version` tag now works in the stable release. See Issue 30760 Hey. I've been wondering how I might set the version number displayed for user-scripts in Chrome's extension tab (source: advefir.com) So far the obvious methods have failed: ``` // ==UserScript== // @version 1.1.5 // @uso:version 1.1.5 // ==/UserScript== ``` I know Greasemonkey for Firefox doesn't use a version value, but since Chrome actually displays a version number, I thought it might. Perhaps this is a feature that has not been implemented? Or maybe it was never intended to be there, but it is there because extensions have version numbers, and user-scripts are currently installed as extensions? (I'm using the Linux beta, version: 4.0.249.43, by the way) Thanks.
