This class was added in Oolite test release 1.70.

The Oolite class represents Oolite itself. It allows scripts to access information about the application. There is a global instance of Oolite, named oolite.

Properties

jsVersion

jsVersion : Number (read-only)

The version of the JavaScript language implemented by this version of Oolite, multiplied by 100, as an integer. For instance, for JavaScript 1.7 (expected to be used in Oolite 1.70), this will be equal to 170.

jsVersionString : String (read-only)

The version of the JavaScript language implemented by this version of Oolite, as a string. For instance, for JavaScript 1.7, this will be equal to "1.7".

version

version : Array (read-only)

The version of Oolite, as an array of version components. For instance, for Oolite 1.70 this will be equal to [1, 70]. For a hypothetical version 1.70.1, it will be equal to [1, 70, 1].

versionString : String (read-only)

The version of Oolite, as a string. For instance, for Oolite 1.70 this will be equal to "1.70". For a hypothetical version 1.70.1, it will be equal to "1.70.1".


Methods

compareVersion

compareVersion(versionSpec) : Number

Compare the version of Oolite to versionSpec, which may be either a string or an array (in the format given by version). If the current version of Oolite is less than versionSpec, -1 is returned. If the current version of Oolite is greater than versionSpec, 1 is returned. If they are equal, 0 is returned. Example:

if (oolite.compareVersion("1.80") < 0)
{
    // Oolite version is older than 1.80.
    Log("An old version of Oolite (" + oolite.versionString + ") is in use. Some features of SuperDuperOXP will not be available.")
}
else
{
    // Enable advanced features here.
}
