title: How to reference the version information in a Google Chrome extension?
body: <p>I use</p>
  
  <pre><code>chrome.tabs.create({url:"URL here"})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to open a new tab in my LRG. To this URL I want to append the version number of the extension, which is specified in the <code>manifest.json</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"version": "1.2",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I access the version number in javascript at the time of creating the new tab?</p>
