The "definition" section of the config

[cokebottle]

Ok, so my config file includes the following part:

"definition": {
	"author": "c0keb0ttle",
	"date": "25.08.2016"
}, 

I've only included it because... all the config files I looked at for reference (like sirmax's) included it.

 

Is there actually any reason to keep this? Are those lines actually evaluated somewhere, or could I just keep information like that as comments?

 

The same goes for lines like 

"configVersion": "6.1.0",

Is this (in practice) useful for something?

This section is not required and used only for information about config.

Ok, thanks!

 

Is the same true for configVersion?

configVersion is required for backward compatibility. It was used earlier, but currently it is not affect anything. May be later we'll use it again.
