%PLANTUML_VERSION% no longer working, starting with version 1.2019.6

Question

Hi & thanks for a great tool!

I like to have the plantuml version in my diagrams like

@startuml

          legend
          <size:8> Rendered with Plantuml Version %PLANTUML_VERSION% </size>
          end legend

Starting with version 1.2019.6 the macro %PLANTUML_VERSION% is no longer replaced with the version. Seems independent of diagram type. With 1.2019.5 it's working perfectly.

Best regards

Thanks for the report.

This feature has been forgotten when implementing the new preprocessor (see http://plantuml.com/preprocessing )

However, with last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar you can now have :

@startuml
legend
<size:8> Rendered with Plantuml Version %version() </size>
end legend

Hope this helps!
