The version is currently unused, it is reserved for future use (probably together with the Boards Manager to handle dependencies on cores)
But nonetheless it will be usefull to keep this version in sync with the version of the ASR650x-Arduino core which currently is V1.0.0.
Keeping the version in platform.txt in sync makes it easy to manually check (on file system level) which version of the ASR650x-Arduino core is actually installed, like:
name=CubeCell
version=1.0.0
Such file system level check will work consistently for both Arduino IDE and PlatformIO.
