Description
When opening a library, it is not obvious to the user, which version this is, expect he is looking into the respective annotation.
Since in OpenModelica a tool tip is shown with some information about the loaded library (see attachment), the following information could be added:
- version
- versuibDate
- versionBuild
as listed in the Modelica Specification, subsection 18.8.4.
On my personal opinion it also makes sense to list all library dependencies (including their version numbers) in the tool tip.

It is easy to add this information but adding this to tooltip will means querying the data while loading, which will increase the waiting time for the user.
I suggest we should add a context menu item called Info/Information and when user clicks on it we display the version and build information in a new dialog. In this way the loading time will remain the same.
What do you think?

Sounds like a very good solution to me. I think a context menu Information is as good as a tooltip info.

Actually, it would be great if the displayed dialog could be closed by pressing the ESC key.
