Hi,

there is actually --version available [1]

I have noticed it's missing in the man page. I have added it there: commit 00fd6e5e6c47d7732efcdc317d4f4aae2121c2cf

It seems you are using 4 years old version. Please consider upgrading to a recent version. The latest stable one is v1.9.17.

Thanks Jirka
