Hi,
OELogging is the API for printing the version for OE and the plugins. If the RapidEars version isn’t showing with only OELogging and not verbose on, the actual linked framework version is most likely a version which precedes the addition of this feature. I think a good approach for troubleshooting is to turn off all of your other app logging and to remove your RapidEars framework to the extent that it decisively breaks (including in Framework Search Paths), then reinstall it and see what OELogging says without any extraneous logging statements. The reason I suggest this is that your excerpt from your logging above (please be so kind as to show whole sessions when sharing logging) stops well before the RapidEars version would be able to appear, but most of its logging output isn’t from OELogging.
