There are only three stackfileversions (well, four, but the very 
earliest stacks didn't have the property.) They are:

2.7
5.5
7.0

These represent the file format of the stack on disk, one new version 
for each time the stack structure was changed. Stack structures are not 
changed very often.

What would be more useful to me would be a property that returns what 
*engine* version the stack was last saved in. HyperCard did that, but we 
don't have such a thing, so if you need that info you have to save it 
yourself as a custom property of the stack.
