    <title>Getting the Zend Framework Version</title>

    <para>
        <classname>Zend_Version</classname> provides a class constant
        <classname>Zend_Version::VERSION</classname> that contains a string
        identifying the version number of your Zend Framework installation.
        <classname>Zend_Version::VERSION</classname> might contain "1.7.4", for example.
    </para>

    <para>
        The static method <classname>Zend_Version::compareVersion($version)</classname>
        is based on the PHP function
        <ulink url="http://php.net/version_compare"><code>version_compare()</code></ulink>.
        This method returns -1 if the specified version
        is older than the installed Zend Framework version, 0 if they are the same
        and +1 if the specified version is newer than the
        version of the Zend Framework installation.
    </para>
