Programmatically Obtain The Go Version From Go.Db

Question

[Dave Bridges]

I am annotating genes with GO.db but I would like to programmatically record the version/date of the gene ontology release that is used for that annotation. Is there any way to extract this from a function in GO.db. The same goes for KEGG/KEGG.db
