This method returns the current REDCap version number as plain text (e.g., 4.13.18, 5.12.2, 6.0.0).
6.0.0+
None
If this function is used in a version of REDCap that does not
support the Export Version Number function, the character string
'5.12.2' is returned. This is done solely for the convenience
of always returning a value that can be compared against other versions.
Please refer to your institution's API documentation.
