Actually no.

The version was moved to a specific file because of git: almost every 
version change is a conflict for him.

So now that the version is in its own specific file, so that any change 
to this file can be automatically reverted by the IDE when you open a 
project and close it without changing anything.

The three files that are automatically reverted in that case are:
- The project directory icon '.icon.png'.
- The '.gitignore' file.
- The version file '.version'.
