     generally sufficient to type "haproxy -v". A development version will
     appear like this, with the "dev" word after the branch number :

     And a nightly snapshot of a stable version will appear like this with an

     instead of the date of the release :

+      HAProxy version 1.5.14-e4766ba 2015/07/29
 
     Any other format may indicate a system-specific package with its own

     whether the version is safe for production or not, and if so, till when, as
     well as a link to the list of known bugs affecting this version.
