No: it just does not.
Yes. It does.
As
mentioned previously, here, back in v0.94 of OXT Lite.
To quote myself fully:
Added a global variable for getting the system version (as 'get the SystemVersion' did not function correctly under MacOS 11+). You can now use 'put tSystemVersion' - returns "MacOS 14" for example. You can alternatively use 'put tSystemVersionNumber' to just get the short version string. - would have liked to replace the built in systemversion but it's inside the engine.
(
I mention that, back here.)
As far as my revised function to get the correct system version on MacOS, that's already in the
custom dictionary which is where additions can go in my text version - (so it's extendable for mere mortals, without sql database editing required). I added this as a way for IDE stacks and scripts to reliably get the systemversion, more of a benefit for MacOS users than anything else. So you can use
put tSystemVersionNumber or you can use
put osversion() - whatever floats your boat as this is the same command:

As to the second part of this, the engine version:
Linux is on a more updated engine as that's the only one that compiles properly.
9.6.3 for
MacOS and
Windows
9.7.0-dp1 for
Linux (as that's the last version of the engine, which
was available in the LCC github, as much as I hate github - this is where the engine code came from as I wanted the most 'vanilla' (non-modified) version to base OXT lite on, with the most updated engine I could get my hands on).
Also,
as mentioned previously, here's a
copy of the engine source - in case it 'disappears' from github at any point.

The ONLY SNAG being for types like me who tend to forget 'things': 't'ain't in the Dictionary.
If you mean the engine version, It's already in the dictionary under "version"

The Engine version is just something I added to show in OXT Lite, - if nothing else, it helps me diagnose issues if someone is able to easily quote the engine version when reporting any issue.
