How can I find the current Concrete5 version from php code?

I see the variable $APP_VERSION defined in version.php. Is this globally accessible I assume?

When trying to echo $APP_VERSION from a block view.php (using this example block:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/blocks/understand... ) it showed nothing.

Grepping the Concrete5 folders I found references to using the Config class and SITE_APP_VERSION. So by adding the below line to my view.php I can now see my concrete5 version:

echo Config::get('SITE_APP_VERSION');
