First step towards a changelog per component (as #291 did for rfd and hs485d): every program and library gets a version that its changelog can refer to, and every program shows its version together with the versions of the OpenCCU-Base libraries it uses.

New versions (version.sh, like rfd, hs485d and multimacd)

Component	Version	Shown by
hss_led / hss_ledctl	2.3.0 (was a hard-coded "2.3" in LedCli.h)	--version, -V
ssdpd	1.0.0	new -v, --version (it had no options)
eq3configd, eq3configcmd, hs485dLoader, SetInterfaceClock	1.0.0	new -v, --version; usage text
crypttool	1.0.0	new --version (-v means "validate"); usage text
libhsscomm, libelvutils, libLanDeviceUtils, libUnifiedLanComm, libeq3config	1.0.0	<lib>_version()

The other components keep the versions they already have: MODULE_VERSION of eq3_char_loop (1.6) and bcm2835_raw_uart (1.12), the Tcl package versions of tclrega, tclrpc (1.4) and tcl_homematic (1.0). libXmlRpc (0.12) and libxmlparser (1.14, as @version in xmlParser.h) get their number into a version header (xmlrpc_version.h, xmlparser_version.h); XMLRPC_VERSION is built from it and still reads XMLRPC++ 0.12.

Version output

• Every library returns its version from extern "C" const char* <lib>_version(), declared in <lib>_version.h (xmlrpc_version, xmlparser_version, hsscomm_version, elvutils_version, landeviceutils_version, unifiedlancomm_version, eq3config_version). A function instead of an exported array keeps a longer version from being cut off by a copy relocation.
• --version (and -v where the option is free) is handled first in main(): it prints and exits with 0 before any option parsing, socket or RPC call. rfd, hs485d and multimacd get it as well and list it in their usage text.
• The output lists the OpenCCU-Base libraries whose functions the program calls (checked with nm -D --undefined-only), with the version reported by the loaded library:

$ rfd -v
rfd 2.6.8 (Nov  2 2026)
  libXmlRpc 0.12
  libxmlparser 1.14
  libhsscomm 1.0.0
  libelvutils 1.0.0
  libLanDeviceUtils 1.0.0
  libUnifiedLanComm 1.0.0

Program	Libraries shown
rfd, hs485d	XmlRpc, xmlparser, hsscomm, elvutils, LanDeviceUtils, UnifiedLanComm
hss_led (with status monitor), SetInterfaceClock	XmlRpc, elvutils
multimacd, eq3configd, crypttool, hs485dLoader	elvutils
eq3configcmd	eq3config
ssdpd, hss_led without status monitor	none

Build

• New CMake function openccu_version_header(<target> <name> <MACRO>) in CMakeLists.txt: generates generated-<name>-version.h from the directory's version.sh (with cmake/WriteVersionHeader.cmake), as rfd, hs485d and multimacd do with their own copy of these lines. Those three are left as they are.
• hss_led, SetInterfaceClock and hs485dLoader no longer link libraries they do not call: libxmlparser (all three) and libhsscomm (SetInterfaceClock).
• The shared libraries get no CMake VERSION/SOVERSION, so their SONAMEs stay lib<name>.so. ReGaHss loads libXmlRpc.so and libxmlparser.so by these names.

AGENTS.md and changelogs

• The rule "Daemon versions" becomes "Component versions": where each component keeps its version, that a user-visible change raises it (a fix the patch level, a new function the minor version), what --version shows, and that a program links only the libraries it calls.
• src/rfd/CHANGELOG.md and src/hs485d/CHANGELOG.md get an Unreleased entry for -v/--version; their versions are raised in a later collected bump. The changelogs of the other components follow in a separate pull request.

Validation

• Clean native x86_64 build of all changed programs and libraries plus rfd, hs485d and multimacd (DEPLOY_TO_REPO=OFF): no errors, no warnings. hss_led also built with HSS_LED_STATUS_MONITOR=OFF.
• --version/-v of all ten programs checked: output as above, exit code 0.
• readelf -d: hss_led and SetInterfaceClock need only libXmlRpc and libelvutils, hs485dLoader only libelvutils.
• hss_led tests (HSS_LED_BUILD_TESTS=ON, ctest): 2/2 pass.
• objdump -p: SONAMEs unchanged; nm -D: each library exports its <lib>_version.
• Line endings and encodings of the CRLF/Latin-1 files (rfd.cpp, hs485d.cpp, multimacd.cpp, crypttool.cpp, SetInterfaceClock.cpp) preserved.

Walkthrough

Programs and libraries under src/ now use generated version headers. Programs include version information in their output. Five libraries expose C-linkage functions that return their version strings. Repository guidance describes version sources and versioning rules.

Changes: Component versioning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared version generation AGENTS.md, CMakeLists.txt	The guidance covers versioning for programs and libraries under src/. The root CMake file adds openccu_version_header to run each component’s version.sh and generate a version header.
Program version output src/SetInterfaceClock/..., src/crypttool/..., src/eq3configcmd/..., src/eq3configd/..., src/hs485dLoader/..., src/hss_led/..., src/ssdpd/...	Programs add version scripts and generated-header wiring. Their output includes version information. ssdpd also handles -v and --version before SSDP initialization.
Library version functions src/libLanDeviceUtils/..., src/libUnifiedLanComm/..., src/libelvutils/..., src/libeq3config/..., src/libhsscomm/...	The libraries add version scripts and generated-header wiring. Each defines a C-linkage function that returns its generated version string.

[jens-maus]

@coderabbitai Thanks for the review. Both points are adopted in b78e064:

• Version query before daemon startup: eq3configd, crypttool, hs485dLoader, SetInterfaceClock and eq3configcmd now handle --version first in main(): it prints the version and exits with 0, before any option parsing, socket or RPC call. The usage text keeps its version line. All programs now answer --version (ssdpd and hss_led already did).
• Stable version symbol size: the libraries export an accessor instead of an array, extern "C" const char* <lib>_version() (hsscomm_version, elvutils_version, landeviceutils_version, unifiedlancomm_version, eq3config_version), so no copy relocation can truncate a longer version later.

Require an exact version invocation.

The current guard accepts ssdpd --version extra and returns status 0 before the normal invocation path. The other version-enabled programs accept only the two-argument form. Restrict this branch to exactly one option argument.

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@jens-maus Thanks for addressing both points in b78e0647.

The changes you describe address both concerns:

• Early --version handling avoids option parsing and service initialization, then exits with status 0.
• C-linkage version accessors avoid the copy-relocation size risk of exported version arrays.

@coderabbitai Thanks for the review.

• Exact version invocation (ssdpd): adopted in 1c532ed. ssdpd now takes -v/--version only as the single argument, like the other programs.
• Docstring coverage: left as is. The sources of this repository have no docstring convention, and the touched functions are short main() and usage() paths.

@jens-maus Thanks for the update.

• The reported change in 1c532edd addresses the ssdpd concern: -v or --version is accepted only as the sole argument.
• Understood on docstring coverage. I accept leaving it unchanged for these short main() and usage() paths. The saved coverage result is a warning, not a blocking check.
