Rasa: Rasa X UI to show version info

[rgstephens]

Description of Problem:
An end user (non developer) can't easily determine which version of Rasa X and Rasa they are using from the UI. The current Support option opens a link to a forum issue. This assumes we have a live connection to forum. It also only shows the Rasa X version and in my 0.20.2 install of Rasa X it reports the version as dev-CC instead of 0.20.2

Overview of the Solution:
Provide a Rasa X UI about or other menu item that shows the version of Rasa X, Rasa, Postgres, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree that it would be nice to have in the UI. For now, you can find the rasa x and rasa versions at http://host/api/version (I assume you know this because of your first sentence, but just for anyone else looking for this info...) I'll add it to the inbox.

It also only shows the Rasa X version and in my 0.20.2 install of Rasa X it reports the version as dev-CC instead of 0.20.2

You see dev-CC when hitting the version endpoint?

It might also come in handy to have a "Copy debug information to clipboard" button somewhere, where it copies rasa version, rasa x version, browser, OS, etc. all at once in a standard format, so people can directly paste this in the forum, GitHub, or wherever they need it.

The reason we're getting dev being reported as the version is because I think REACT_APP_GIT_SHA is no longer being set in Travis, which means we are not running yarn build properly. I'll have to look into it

[rgstephens]

I think it would be good to display the output of /api/version. In troubleshooting conversations on the forum, this is one of the more common requests, for users to go to this endpoint and report the versions.

This should be solved once this is implemented.

@abhilasharoy as mentioned in slack, i wouldn't agree with that comment as in the current design, you can not see your version info if you are not running an outdated version

[abhilasharoy]

Yea makes sense @erohmensing - this problem is not solved for people on the latest version.
