according to the user manual
version() and version_num() will return OpenSCAD version number.
The version() function will return the OpenSCAD version as a vector,
e.g. [2011, 09, 23]
The version_num() function will return the OpenSCAD version as a number,
e.g. 20110923
but when I try using them I only gets zeros.
echo(version());
echo(version_num());
x = version(); echo(x);
y = version_num(); echo(y);
results:
ECHO: [0, 0, 0]
ECHO: 0
ECHO: [0, 0, 0]
ECHO: 0
What am I missing?

I don't know, I get this:
ECHO: [2015, 5, 16]
ECHO: 2.01505e+007
ECHO: [2015, 5, 16]
ECHO: 2.01505e+007
You must have a bad build.
It doesn't seem correct that echo uses scientific notation when natural
notation is shorter and more precise.

That was a bug not long ago:
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1329
Works for me with the latest version from github.

Ouch, forgot about that. We should push 2015.03-2 out soon.

in the docs it says:
- The version_num() function will return the OpenSCAD version as a
number, e.g. 20110923
But it really comes back in scientific notation. To me that is a bug. minor
one, but one none-the-less.

Not really, version_num() does return the correct value. How it's printed
with echo() is a different matter.
It could be argued that means for specific formatting are missing, though.

Exactly, Paul.
OpenSCAD limit the print to 6 significant digits which is wrong in the case of version_num() that requires 7 digits.

I definitely think it would be good to release versions every 3-4 months, the
last release was from 6 months ago perhaps and i have to install Ubuntu to
compile the sources, i haven't had the time to think even on what partition
and with which boot manager i will have ubuntu on pc. even if you have any
unofficial releases, you can post a link to a .zip file here i will jump on
it.

You can always just track the nightly build on Ubuntu. Those are actually
built after every check-in to the master branch on github.
The packages are designed to be installable in parallel to the official
distribution packages (mainly tested on Debian/Ubuntu). So if there's
an issue with the nightly build, the release version is still available.
Windows Snapshot builds are not automatic, I'm only building those if there's
some important change or a specific request.
