Hi

Thanks for noticing this and letting us know.

I don't think there is any intention to remove the version option, but
I will leave to Gerd to confirm that.

The build process does not create the version information if there is
not a 'resources' directory. This was removed from the release since
it is otherwise empty after moving the build to an ivy based one. I
didn't realise that side affect at the time.

The distribution is smaller because it does not include the testng jar
file, which is a test only dependency and not a runtime one.

@Gerd You can just add an empty resources directory to fix the version
number in the distribution, or I could fix it in the distribution
build script if you would prefer.  Also could you decide if you don't
want testng to be included in the distribution. I don't think it is 
necessary, since it will be automatically downloaded should anyone
build from the included sources, but it is up to you.
