Rocket.chat: Display Rocket Chat Version Number

[MuhClaren]

Are there any plans to introduce a version number somewhere in the UI? It'd be greatly helpful to have at-a-glance the current version running. Takes the guess work out of wondering if it's the latest docker image or not. Thanks for considering this.

It'd be very nice to know version-build as I re-deploy via docker. I have noticed several things I'd like to have reported as issues, but I can't attribute them to a specific build without slogging through the docker build IDs.

This should be possible with the efforts related to #961.

@MuhClaren I think this is very much the plan. We're working on our build flow. It should be available very soon.

100% accurate.

[MuhClaren]

A build number would be just as good; if it can be derived from the result of #961, that'd be excellent. Thanks for all your time and effort on this project. Cheers.

@MuhClaren thanks.

Every new build now includes a version + build number.

For now, it can be accessed directly via : http://<your server name>/buildinfo/buildinfo.txt

Starting today, we will not be supporting any vX.X.dev build officially (devs can still get great help from the community on our demo community server ).

Other tickets will be created to 'read and display' this version information in more UI/UX friendly way across clients and servers - including mobile, Electron, web, and so on.

Please track progress (and improve the doc) on this wiki page.

There is a minor bug #1117 which should be fixed shortly.

I am closing this case for now.

Great work! Thanks!

I couldn't find information on this, but this url does not work anymore. Instead, you can go to <your server>/api/info instead now to view your version info.
