The version string in detail
============================
The Solidity version string contains four parts:
- the version number
- pre-release tag, usually set to ``develop.YYYY.MM.DD`` or ``nightly.YYYY.MM.DD``
- commit in the format of ``commit.GITHASH``
- platform has arbitrary number of items, containing details about the platform and compiler
If there are local modifications, the commit will be postfixed with ``.mod``.
A relase example: ``0.4.8+commit.60cc1668.Emscripten.clang``.
A pre-release example: ``0.4.9-nightly.2017.1.17+commit.6ecb4aa3.Emscripten.clang``
