Comment (by gk):

 Now that we parse the changelog for showing the things we fixed in an
 update can't we use a mechanism like that to extract the version number on
 (first-start) as well?

 Or, if all things fail, we could inject the version number in the bundling
 step I guess which is kind of hacky, too.

 Any better alternatives I am currently missing?
