How to set Chrome's user script version number


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).


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 think so.

Version number used for updating extensions. User scripts currently can not update. "Update extensions now" button doesn't work for them.
