+/* -------------------------------------------
+Macro: VERSION_CONFIG
+    Define CBA Versioning System config entries.
+
+    VERSION should be a floating-point number (1 separator).
+    VERSION_STR is a string representation of the version.
+    VERSION_AR is an array representation of the version.
+
+    VERSION must always be defined, otherwise it is 0.
+    VERSION_STR and VERSION_AR default to VERSION if undefined.
+
+Parameters:
+    None
+
+Example:
+    (begin example)
+        #define VERSION 1.0
+        #define VERSION_STR 1.0.1
+        #define VERSION_AR 1,0,1
