-# This script provides the following basic version variables that need to be

+# The following variables are derived from variables initialized by

# GMX_VERSION_MAJOR Major version number.
# GMX_VERSION_PATCH Patch version number.
# Should always be defined: zero for, e.g., 2016.

+# This script provides the following basic version variables that need to be
+# maintained manually:
# GMX_VERSION_SUFFIX String suffix to add to numeric version string.
# "-dev" is automatically added when not building from a source package,
# and does not need to be kept here. This mechanism is not quite enough
# The scripts gmxGenerateVersionInfo.cmake and gmxConfigureVersionInfo.cmake
# are used internally by this machinery, as well as VersionInfo.cmake.cmakein.
