which version of dav1d plugin (libdav1d_plugin.dll) is included in the new vlc player 3.0.12?

I went to C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\codec\libdav1d_plugin.dll and hovered over this to see the tooltip version number but it shows v3.0.12 (vlc version number), not the actual version number of dav1d. This is REALLY annoying, i want to be able to hover over plugins to see their version numbers. You don't list updating the version numbers in the changelog either unlike MPC-BE which does say which plugins/decoders were updated and their version numbers.

Please do both of these things in future, i would greatly appreciate it.

VLC plug-ins are part of the VLC code base. They don't have their own version numbers separate from VLC.

You're assuming that there is one plug-in per underlying library, but that is not the case, not even close. So no, we are not going to create 200+ separate sets of version numbers one per plug-in.

Can you put the versions in the changelog though? Also, where can i find out the version number of dav1d that is used in v3.0.12?
