+===== $ADODB_vers =====
+This global variable should be considered as a constant.
+It contains the **ADOdb version and release date** in the following format:
+''vX.Y.Z[-suffix]  {date|Unreleased}''
+The version number (X = major, Y = minor, Z = hotfix components, separated by dots ''.'') is prefixed with a ''v'', and has an optional //suffix// separated with a dash ''-'' indicating a pre-release version (e.g. ''-beta.1''). The release date in ''yyyy-mm-dd'' format is tagged at the end after 2 spaces.
+While under development, a release will have the ''-dev'' suffix, and the date will be replaced by the ''Unreleased'' string, e.g. ''v5.23.0-dev  Unreleased''.
