yeah, that was one of the ideas for having an API to adjust the version information.

I don't have a good idea for the name of the tab.

However for applications, it is really annoying (several Kdenlive users complained and I fully agree) to not have this information clearly displayed as soon as the About dialog is displayed. I understand the interest of having a separate version tab displaying the various underlying libraries used, but I propose to display again the application version in the About dialog header (see screenshot).
