A recent problem was eventually (!) traced to multiple Roundup installations on a host, at differing versions.

It is easy to determine the version of roundup-admin and other commandline tools, as they provide an option for this purpose. There is currently no such option to determine which Roundup version generated the web pages.

Please add a way for the web pages to display the version of Roundup used to create them. It is important that this is easily accessible by someone who is still very unfamiliar with Roundup, so that it is useful to them for debugging.

Suggestions include:

* Default 'classic' template grows an element in the footer showing the version of Roundup.

* As above, but commented out by default.

* As above, but triggered on by some condition detectable to TAL.

You can do this in roundup today. I'm not certain of the general usefulness so I'm unconvinced the default templates need to be changed. If I figure out how to edit the Wiki, that's probably the place for something like this.

Short version: create an extension that registers a new util function that returns roundup.__version__ then call that in your templates wherever you want it displayed.
