Test TXP version in plugin

What’s the best way of testing the TXP version from within a plugin? Is there a standard behind-the-scenes function?

With the great features in 4.0.9 (pluggable_ui & plugin options) it would be useful if there was something to test if the version was a specified level or above.

Thanks,

Adi

Re: Test TXP version in plugin

if (version_compare(txp_version, '4.0.9', '<'))
    exit('4.0.9 is required.');
else
    // install

How about checking for version greater than 4.0.6?

No problem.

Were you looking for something like the following?

if (version_compare(txp_version, '4.0.6', '>'))

Or:

if (version_compare(txp_version, '4.0.7', '>='))
